Disabling the edit and command shell options in GRUB

[Greg Silverman]

Is there any interest or ongoing activity in GRUB development to eliminate the 
ability to edit the menu or enter the command shell? For security reasons I 
would like to have that option. It would be more secure than password 
protection. Even if the password is well protected, just deleting the 
/boot/grub2/user.cfg file eliminates the protection.

If the system does not boot from the OS disk we will be able to fix using 
another boot media.
