Better yet, since seeing all the problems with GRUB, they should 
put LILO back until the bugs are resolved.

I keep hearing there are more bugs about GRUB because thats what 
more people are using. That is nonsense I never had a problem 
that required a bug report with LILO and each bug I found with 
GRUB already had at least on bug that was already listed for
the same problem I saw, and none had solutions that fixed the 
problem, hence I am pretty sure I didn't post a bug report.
