Well now I'm really baffled. Based on the dnf logs on one of the
affected systems, grubby-deprecated seems to have been pulled in about
two weeks ago. That would account for the timing. But it was on a
system that was upgraded to aarch64 and the 5.3.7 kernel months ago and
been in operation and updated frequently since then.

I think I've got them cleaned up with the various armfp systems "with"
and the various aarch64 systems "without". I'm going to go back and
flush my system config backup systems and reinitialize in case the
culprit is lurking in there (which I highly suspect at this time).
