I'd (personally) be much more on board with a warning vs a hard block as well.

The GRUB_FLAVOUR_ORDER issue was met with some resistance by both the FIPs team and the OEM team. From what I gathered, GRUB_FLAVOUR_ORDER was originally implement for the FIPS kernel, but later leveraged by OEM.

The OEM supersede was preferred by the OEM team, as OEM packages are intended to be temporary (and only for critical functionality issues) until adopted upstream, after which they are intended to be removed (?).

The argument from the FIPs side more leans towards the `forced` OEM installs. This falls outside of the UA client's responsibility though, as it can trigger before or after ua enablement via ubuntu-drivers-common.

I'd agree that we'd want a definitive decision on preferred preference before pulling the trigger on the UA changes though.
