Grub2 will be used on machines that have no UEFI boot, that is. most less-than-current hardware. It is *not* dead, it is just that grub will not be used when a dramatically simple solution like gummiboot is available.
True. Basil, please show us a bootloader as simple as gummiboot for normal BIOS and you will be the hero of many.
Um.... LILO? Seems alot simpler than Grub -- may not provide all the comfy-feely stuff but that comes with alot of overhead (including needs for alot larger initrd)
There are many days were I would prefer LILO over Grub (1 or 2).
Simplicity has it's benefits... Whereas, seems like systemd has been brought to us by MS (it's designer admits the config files are patterned after Windows INI files). Saw a similar effect on the ID3v2 "standard" -- just so happened that the standard's committee was populated by mostly MS employees... all volunteering to work on their own time, and in no official MS capacity, of course!... Any wonder why the standard doesn't support UTF-8 over 20 years after it was first suggested/introduced (but adheres to UCS-2 (not UTF-16, though MS's implementations will allow such --- while refusing to recognize UTF-8 Meta info).
