Eventually, grub2 will be all that's available from portage. At that
point, I can either,

1) Install grub2 on some machines.

2) Maintain grub-legacy (and install media) myself.

How much work would it be for you to,

  * Learn grub2
  * Travel to my office here in Baltimore
  * Test it on all combinations of hardware that we currently run
  * Document the standard config and any special cases
  * Upgrade a bunch of my servers at 4am?

If you still think it's "not much" then I'd be happy to have you do it
while I drink margaritas.
