I think we should offer support for it, ie package, patch the tools ( given the fact that 5 people are ready to do the switch, I guess they are all eager to help on creating a proper package ). But not do a change in the default before Mageia 3. While Grub 2 is working fine ( I use it since 3 years ), there was people complaining about this on ubuntu ( because this changed their habits, because the documentation was sparse ) to warrant not rushing the change. We value quality, and so we can offer grub2 as a option, and make sure it got enough test, even by people on the stable release before deciding. IE, without any test, we should not change, so I would set a deadline to have grub2 ready befre saying "we switch". -- Michael Scherer People that want grub 2 should be able to do it like those that use lilo.
