Hello Andre! Yes, of couse we're interested in BURG! We have a blueprint<https://blueprints.launchpad.net/elementaryos/+spec/burg>about using it for quite a while already (you can read what blueprints are and why we use them here<http://elementaryos.org/journal/how-see-what%E2%80%99s-our-sleeves>).
The problem about BURG is that a bootloader is a *really* critical and also low-level component. Such things are not our area of expertise, and our limited manpower is already spread thin. As far as I know, BURG was not used in any distros so far. IMO it's facing a chicken-and-egg problem - distributors don't use until it's widely tested and proven to be stable, and it won't be widely tested and debugged until distributors use it. Maybe if we work closely with BURG developers and make a separate set of ISO images with it instead of GRUB, we'll be able to bring it closer to mass adoption. But again, that's not our area of expertise, and since it's useful to Ubuntu too, I'd rather propose that to Ubuntu. Then we'll inherit it from them easily. -- Sergey "Shnatsel" Davidoff OS integrator, elementary
