Please STOP giving this advice to people! Running out of space on the ESP may cause a lot of hassle later. *Right now*, GRUB is small. But things do grow over time. Also, if anybody wants to install an extra OS, or use fwupd to install firmware updates (for example), saving a small amount of disk space here could cause a massive PITA later. -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK.
