Nicely editing out of the other use-case I supplied. grub and grub2 *packages* don't install into the same few bytes. I thought you were good at backing up arguments with technical reasons, not strawmen. The argument is "should it be possible to install grub1 and grub2 *packages* on the same system?" The strawman is if you install grub1 and grub2 bootloaders into the MBR on the same system they will conflict. I totally agree with your strawman, but you still haven't provided any technical reasons why the argument is wrong. Above all people Matthew I thought you were aware of how strawmen work and would be against their use.
