Lilo is also documented in how it works and as the default loader in the kernel documentation.
No it is not https://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/online/pages/man7/boot.7.html
Last I looked, lilo was the only boot loader with it's source hosted and kept in sync with the kernel.
This is false. LILO was hosted on alioth.debian.org It's development struggled for many years, disappearing for years, being restarted in 2010 before totally and utterly ceasing in December 2015 http://lilo.alioth.debian.org/ It is not hosted or kept in sync with the kernel, and most certainly never did during at least the last 5 years. Even if the above facts were not true, your belief that something should be followed because it is documented and hosted by the Linux Kernel project is also fundamentally flawed. btrfs is a filesystem hosted, documented, AND kept in sync with the Linux kernel https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Main_Page btrfs is the default filesystem of openSUSE lilo does not support btrfs So even if lilo development was not as dead as a dodo, there is still grounds to drop it based on Tomas' original post and all of the core functionality of the openSUSE distribution, including our default filesystem, which is not supported by lilo So, please, make sure the arguments you bring to this list are based on facts.
