Hi Tomas,
I would say go for the removal. As far as I remember LiLo can't boot
EFI Setups and needs DOS Partitions.
There's another Project called elilo [1] which can do the above.
But since all Variants of *suse (Tumbleweed, Leap, SLE) use Grub as
default anyway and don't offer LiLo during install, I don't see a
reason to keep LiLo.
Also the Development of LiLo seems to have stagnated.
Last Release was in 2015-11-22 [2]
Last Git Commit was in 2015-11-22 [3]

Hello everyone,
during update and split of lvm2 package we detected failure [1] in lilo to build because of broken br/r set on device-mapper.
Now the easy solution is to replace that device-mapper-32bit with the proper split-out library and be done with it. But I would like to figure out if we have still some people using the lilo now.
Installer does support only grub2 and lilo is quite archaic today. I would then propose to remove lilo from Factory instead of just fixing it and leaving be.
Cheers
Tom
