If I read the home page correctly, they are not really doing much more 
than bug fixes on the old grub.  That was my reading at least.  I'm 
dreading that day too.  I sort of like my old grub.  I started on lilo 
and grub has seriously grown on me.  I'll switch to the new grub tho.  I 
have NO plans to go back to lilo.  None whatsoever ! !
