Oh yes, I am aware of that. However, though GRUB is claimed legacy, it is used in active RHEL (and thus CentOS) releases (that is, in 5.x and 6 beta), and perhaps in some other distros. And as I am on CentOS, this is why I am still interested in having this, possibly also for others' benefit, in legacy GRUB. > > Why not bring up this issue, but not necessarily the patch, on the > appropriate lists?

But I understand the list is aimed to drive GRUB2 development, and I explained above I would like to have this fixed in legacy GRUB, if at all possible. > > I also suspect that the people behind CENTOS, are also aware of this.
