GRUB2 as default in the installer is a very good approach, as long as you still have the option to get GRUB legacy, which seems no longer possible. >> There are many packages that are not being "actively" developed but >> still maintained upstream (how about "Unison"?) like GRUB legacy is. > > GRUB legacy is hardly being maintained upstream.

It still receives bugfixes, enough for people who uses to install Debian "stable" and prefers "old-but-working-and-tested" packages than the bleeding edge. > > Only bugfixes will be made so that GRUB Legacy can stil be used for > > older systems. > >> Nice speech, > > Thank you - but it was of a 'get in touch with pragmatism' effort. :) > >> but I prefer to see the real numbers that support >> it >:-) > > You give me the number of Debian users and I'll make a stab at it. :) Sadly there are no credible numbers that can be fetched. For this kind of decisions, I would prefer a poll or something in the like. Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
