Note that GRUB is the standard Multiboot boot loader, so it is the most important to support all the features of Multiboot. GRUB has always been saying that it supports *all* the features of Multiboot plus some other fancy features. If anything defined in Multiboot is missing, that is a bug. I'm quite afraid that you don't see Multiboot-compliance critical for GRUB. That has been a general tendency in GRUB development these days. Probably because most people only think about Linux or don't know anything but Linux and Windows. My stance is very different even if I use GNU/Linux. I want to help people who develop new operating systems. That takes precedence to support for existing operating systems. I know my opinion is not good for ordinary users, but I don't need to work for ordinary users anyway. (Oh, I'm proud of that GRUB is not commercial software.) Please understand at least this point: GRUB would be GRUB even if support for Linux is omitted, while GRUB would not be GRUB if support for Multiboot disappears. The reason why I may compromise without finishing Multiboot issues is just that the missing features are not necessary to boot Multiboot-compliant OSes in most cases (such as GNU/Hurd).
