Oneiric has been released, and since it's a non-LTS release it will not
have point images created, so it actually cannot be fixed in oneiric any
more.
Precise will have more point releases, but this is a significant feature
& UI change as well. This does not qualify for an SRU, as per current
policy.
os-prober has improved and now complex multi-boot environments are
actually handled better than before.
But I can still see slight benefit of not installing bootloaders. This
needs design specification changes, as by default we want to make sure
users don't even need to know what a boot loader is and still be able to
boot their windows/mac/previous install effortlessly. Also, chances of
selecting no bootloader installation by accident should be avoided as
much as possible, as recovering/reinstalling grub by hand is not for
faint hearted.
