The only trouble is is that grub legacy is no longer supported, and the
I see "no longer supported" as applied to Grub Legacy as no more than an excuse to switch to something more bloated and complicated just to provide a few growingly necessary features lacking from Grub Legacy. It's well known what it's limitations are. It needs no more development, so no more "support" beyond simply providing the same rpm and yast module as that for the past half decade or more. As an only bootloader option at installation time it's dead, but it's not ready to discard.
antagonism to switch to grub from grub legacy is sounding very much like the situation where people were (still are) arguing about KDE3 versus KDE4.
To me the parallel is quite striking. KDE3 and Grub Legacy both give me what I need without bloat or mutated or replaced paradigms. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
