You've been spouting this line for years, and yet my Ubuntu 10.4 machine uses, guess what, GRUB 1. Mainly because you deprecated GRUB Legacy[tm] well before GRUB 2 was usable. (you in the generic sense of the GRUB project here) Edward - please do continue to develop patches for GRUB 1 (the one that still actually works plenty well enough for lots of people) and ignore the naysayers who are happy to throw out backwards compatibility. Sometimes you have to maintain crappy code because people out there depend on it. And we thank those who step up and do it rather than throw their hands up and pretend it doesn't need doing!
