+Could you please explain why ?  The whole MBR/PBR design was set up so 
+that whatever gets loaded and receives control doesn't know which way it 
+happened.  How does grub2 break this ?

+I don't claim that it's necessary, just that it's more desirable than 
+requiring the MBR code to go poking around in partitons other than the 
+one from which it was installed.  If you're interested in keeping 
+partitions functionally as separate as they can be, it just makes sense 
+to have them booted by their own bootloaders.
