Well, it's commonly know that mostly the horror stories are what people
tell each other and remember.  And especially in this very place, as it's

installations that just work; like those I did on a number of systems.

P.S. Next project for me: make GRUB2 read LVM volumes.  Anyone who wants
to help or has already done something, please speak up now.
