A la OpenSuse with Snapper, which hooks into a previous topic: Grubby needs work if we want to offer rollbacks.
rpm-ostree does rollbacks. It's more complicated under the hood than what opensuse is doing, but I think it's easier for the user. And right now it doesn't use grubby at all, and doesn't require Btrfs.
What openSUSE is doing requires Btrfs, a bunch of GRUB patches to support Btrfs snapshots which are not upstream, and a bunch of installer changes. No one within Fedora is working on this.
