We will never get lilo back in, just download the binary of lilo and keep 
it handy and install it manualy on every new install and then delete grub,
thats what we do :) and will continue to do.

once bitten with grub, twice a fool

and we can not afford any downtime, if RH want Fedora to be a 
desktop OS only thats fine, but they better start hinting at that,
I hink RH have lost vision and are vastly not becoming a server platform, 
just look at previous threads about the server install option and 
the unnecasary junk it installs as well.
