One question Howard had at the meeting was "GRUB 2 why?". I took it to mean "Why abandon the original GRUB and start over?" (If not, then this doesn't apply.) According to GRUB FAQ, http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/grub-faq.en.html
#1 The GRUB we have loved for the past several years (now called GRUB Legacy) was rewritten because it "became unmaintainable, due to messy code and design failures.", and requests to extend the scope were not easily done with the existing code, so it was rewritten. Their A to #2 is not too comforting... "It is usable, but we are still making incompatible changes from time to time." (The page was updated about 24 hours ago.)
