I distribute a new kernel occasionally, remove the oldest, and must declare the newest default. Our users must not be allowed to boot the wrong kernel accidentally, but I want to keep those as backup. This is all done by scripting, and I just have the impression that scripting migth be easier with a LILO compatibilty mode.
It's not a big deal, however. It just might make migrating from LILO easier for some users (like me). (This is also the reason that I don't like the 'default #' configuration of grub very much: it's rather awkward for a script to find out wich is the kernel booted by default).
