As some of you've noticed, the bootloader configuration in openSUSE

drop the support for lilo bootloader from YaST (and thus installation)
and leave grub as the only supported bootloader on i386 and x86_64 in
openSUSE 11.1.

Stanislav, I took this posting to be a sort of RFC, not just an
announcement that support for lilo has been dropped. How should it
really be understood?

I understand they discussed and decided internally. This is done. They only inform us of a decided and done fact. Probably economics reasons. :-(
