Would it be possible to have a version of grub with all of Vladmir Testov's patches

Would it be possible to have a version of grub with all of Vladmir Testov's patches

Whenever I've made themes for grub I always get asked to do certain things which aren't possible with stock grub, but would be possible with his patches applied that Vladmir Testov has written. I've watched the discussion and know some have their bugs, but I think it'd be nice to have a branch with these experimental theme features applied. I'm not suggesting a fork or anything (as what BURG was), just a way for people to have an easier way to play with those features, or some sort of experimental theme package that can be applied easily by users. Perhaps, there could even be a plugin of sorts that a user could just easily install.

I'd be nice to have a version of Grub2 that will PXE boot over TFTP; I 
know there's a patch on the trunk.

Are there plans for a stable release of Grub2 with some defined set of 
new features along with bug patches?

Hi.

Most of the patches are included into the upstream.

Some patches weren't accepted and they should be slightly updated. Some of them 
are not adequate.

I think the only proper way is to wait untill I'll redo some patches that are not accepted 
yet. Then I'll sent them again to the mailing list. So the upstream version will contain 
proper and tested patches, which won't break anything.

Thanks for the attention.

Gerard, please tell me if there are some things which will make grub theming better. I'll 
see what I can do.

Well I would like to see some of your gfxmenu patches, I was also wondering about patch for horizontal menus such as this one http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2011-04/msg00083.html. I realize these are all aesthetics, and everyone is focused on technical patches.

Hello folks!

I'll be completely offline from 8th to 23rd of June and from 28th of June to 7th of July.

I'll remake some patches which aren't accepted yet as soon as I can.

Gerard, I'll look through the horizontal menu patch. (again, as soon as I can) And I'll see 
what I can do with it.

If someone is still waiting for the patches, please be patient. :)
