Please explain how the process work, it is not so clear for me. I'm 
confused.

In C7 when I need to modify grub menu kernel option I modify 
/etc/default/grub and run grub2-mkconfig and thats all. It always worked 
for me.

On C8 this does not work anymore, grub2-mkconfig is not enough, it 
generates only the grub.cfg but it does not update the menu entries and 
need to modify each entry using grubby. At this point what grub.cfg is 
used for if directives are not loaded by it and need grubby to modify 
entries?

I'm missing something....
