I find it absolutely amazing that someone who seems to fight so strongly
in favor of the choice to use Grub seems to be so against allowing those
who wish to use Lilo and have it included as an option in the installer.
I've yet to see anybody here suggest removing Grub as an installer
option. Most here would even be content to see it left as the default
option for those who are new to Linux.
But how can we claim to be in favor of software choice when at the basic
level of the bootloader we can't even let there be a choice for those
who don't want to use one or the other.
