This is neither an argument pro or contra lilo, but the above logic doesn't feel right to me. Open source is based on diversity originating from the freedom to have it. Thus saying a) "A is standard", b) "B does not support A", and finally the unspoken consequence c) "B can be removed" is over-simplifying in my eyes.
Yup. Try this one - a) dhcpv6-PD is standard b) wicked does not support dhcpv6-PD c) .....
Similarly, I've personally never used btrfs, and I know quite a bunch of folks who didn't either. Lilo doesn't support RAID?
I don't know where that comes from, I have some 20 systems booting with lilo from RAID1. RAID5 is not supported though.
In Per's case - I assume from his reply "[...] the only boot-manager we use" that the company he's working for uses lilo - that company will simply have to spend some effort - either for fixing lilo or for going away from it in their product. Nevertheless, openSUSE may choose to not include it in Factory anymore, and that lilo only continues living in some private repo or even a private/corporate OBS instance.
Yes, if openSUSE does not supply it, we will most likely just build it from source locally.
