Gour the answer to this one is simple enough because our current installer does not support it. And for the next installer I'm afraid it won't be a priority since it's not a highly used / requested feature. One other thing about having multiple bootloaders is that it might confuse users who won't know which one they want and you also have to support both of them.... If someone reports that he installed Frugalware using syslinux and it didn't work we have to deal with that issue. I know ryuo has worked a lot on grub2 and I'm not sure who's going to do the work for syslinux. First things first, we need a new installer for 1.8.
