Nobody said you weren't allowed to use grub1.  Also, grub1 will work
until the end of time, just like OS/2 or MS-DOS or VMS - it isn't like
software has an expiration date.

Somebody wrote some software for free that doesn't work the way you
want it to.  How is writing free software dictatorial?  Is anybody who
writes software and does not charge for it ethically bound to write it
to somebody else's specifications?  Even if you buy into "the customer
is always right" you aren't even their customer.
