--- Comment #11 from Michael Chang
(In reply to Michael Chang from comment #2)
The problem is that not all users like the idea to write grub/grub2 to LBA0.
If GRUB by default, then only support their recommended methods. Optionally provide UI for the user to opt out of overwriting LBA 0, which then uses extlinux, which is explicitly meant for this use case.
The UI is already there, we just have to change default proposal to mbr. We don't want to bring yet another loader (extlinux) to mess up maintenance work and we can't simply disable or remove that option from yast installer also because any feature change should go through FATE process to evaluate impact and I believe some people or running setup would still stay to prefer it.
