</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; &gt; Grub 2 is coming now regularly in proposals. What should  we do about it :
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; &gt; - Stay with Grub 1 - pb ? maintainance ? restrictions ?
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; &gt; - Switch to Grub 2 : smooth migration, tests, integration...
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt;
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; SWITCH!
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt;
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; +1
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; We can switch Cauldron now, to get massive tests, now that KDM knows it.
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt;
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; I feel it is specially important that drakboot, gdm and kdm work nicely with
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; it (ie. no regression).
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt;
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; - Test also multiboot with Ubuntu and Fedora (auto-detection)
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt;
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; And still keep GRUB1 till Mageia 3, to have a simple go back avalaible for
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; people who will have problems with GRUB2.
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; What for ? Any day from now everybody will be using btrfs to boot and then
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; GRUB 1 is useless...
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> How many percent of $ALL is your &quot;everybody&quot;? Most not-so-experienced
</I>&gt;<i> users will not use btrfs until it is the standard filesystem in the
</I>&gt;<i> installer. People who will not install Mageia2 but upgrade Mageia1
</I>&gt;<i> will continue with their current filesystem. There are more reasons to
</I>&gt;<i> keep Grub1 for a while as an option.
</I>
Grub 2 is also able to boot ext4 without trouble since several years. So
keeping grub 1 for a while doesn't make sense at all if this is related
to file system.

And grub 2 also support reading grub 1 configuration file since
September 2010.
