Hello!
Why I am inclined to think is that the Bug-Grub list should be allowed
to continue for as long as there are available binary blobs and source
code ones for the original Grub-Legacy. Currently that one is in a
finally released state, as Grub2 hastens towards its first actual
release.

An appropriate disclaimer of what list does what should be posted onto
the basic website.
