Didn't see the actual page until after I finished my other mail... No 
where do I understand they want to depart with GRUB, but rather make the 
kernel high resolution support as early as possible (i.e. as soon as the 
initrd image is loaded), switch to the best video mode (video modes in 
the VT are rather cryptic) and color bit depth for the attached display 
and continue booting all the way until X11 is loaded with a nice, shiny 
and professional looking through out all  of the boot process, which 
could in turn be made faster by means of new stuff like 'initng' and the 
resource liberation of RHGB and the "extra" Xserver.
