If we say GRUB 2 is "under development" but we don't say anything about GRUB Legacy, people might think GRUB 2 is not ready. I agree with Pavel, saying GRUB 2 is under development doesn't fail to the truth, but then again there are many ways of saying the truth. I think we should make the website give a clear message that: a) GRUB Legacy is obsolete and we don't longer support it b) GRUB 2 is more mature than GRUB Legacy -- Robert Millan The DRM opt-in fallacy: "Your data belongs to us.
