I think we should offer support for it, ie package, patch the tools
( given the fact that 5 people are ready to do the switch, I guess they are
all eager to help on creating a proper package ).
But not do a change in the default before Mageia 3. While Grub 2 is working
fine ( I use it since 3 years ), there was people complaining about this on ubuntu ( because
this changed their habits, because the documentation was sparse ) to warrant
not rushing the change. We value quality, and so we can offer grub2 as a option,
and make sure it got enough test, even by people on the stable release before deciding.
IE, without any test, we should not change, so I would set a deadline to have grub2
ready befre saying "we switch".

People that want grub 2 should be able to do it like those that use lilo.
