I did not look at this very closely, though I should add that grubby (command
line app) and booty (python library) already support multiple boot loaders.  If
you would like to create a GUI for booty, that sounds like a good thing,
although I am not sure if grubby needs a replacement as it already works pretty
darn well.

It makes good sense, IMHO, to support multiple boot loaders, otherwise the app
seems to collide a bit with grubconf.  Per the grubconf page, grubconf seems to
be being replaced by one of the Gnome system tools for boot configuration:

Which looks like an upgrade to what is in FC5 today. 
"Administration/bootloader" is fairly useless as it only lets you pick which
bootloader to use.
