 One useful feature for me is that grub2 will boot from an ISO image, I

We all have our own ways of doing things. My equivalent to that is to have a

companion main system.

That's what I used to do until I found grub 2 could boot an ISO. Now I only need to copy one file to /boot to update my rescue setup.
