Dear Clayton,
complicated fixes needs time and it is not good idea to create huge changes in
code near release because I can create or break something else and finally
result can be broken booting.
The bug is not blocker because there exist workaround and IMHO it is not
critical because you didn't lost data it is possible to add other distro to
menu.lst manually or also via y2-bootloader.
The bug is that it is not done automatically during installation. It is not
because it is other distro the problem is that our solution is based on config
files and if I want to fix problem with adding other distro to suse's menu.lst
I need change a lot of code and also design of y2-bootloader.
I hope it is clear now.
Finally adding other distro is not supported NOW if you are project manager you
know that missing functionality is solved via feature request and you create
feature request in FATE. (you can look at https://features.opensuse.org/)
Into 11.2 was added better validation of parsing menu.lst because there were
bugs for adding wrong/invalid boot sections from other installed OS. Adding
better validation decrease problems with adding other installed OS
(openSUSE/SLE) but it also decrease ability to add other distro to menu.lst.
