As some of you've noticed, the bootloader configuration in openSUSE was not in best shape for a couple of releases. Therefore, we plan to 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. :-(
This is a "we tried for years to keep both and we admit we failed" announcement. There is nothing to discuss unless someone has a bright idea how to maintain so many bootloader setups with two pretty different bootloaders without getting insane.
