back in mdv times, i once had a grub issue, and asked for help in the grub channel, they were pretty mad at me for using 0.9x(ie: grub1) and not 1.x versions (ie: grub2). and they were pretty clear to me that grub1 was not supported for a while now but distributions were still doing grub1, etc... if you ask me, it's their own fault for making the transition so bad, due to changing all these things... but, i guess if upgrades are handled nicely (even if they still keep grub-legacy) and new installs use grub2, then i have no issue with it. otoh, atm we can choose between grub-text, grub-graphic, and lilo, so i guess making it grub2-graphic and grub2-text extra doesn't seem that big of a deal to me... in any case, people who feel strongly about this, can help out with this, i'm sure...
