Not dropped, but grub is the default. You can select either when you install.
Or are they just featuring grub as well? Which one are you offered if you just run the installer and answer questions as they come up?
grub, unless you manually change it.
I tried Grub last year and didn't see what the fuss was about, so I went back to lilo... but then I don't do anything fancy, so I probably don't realize what I'm missing...
The biggest difference is probably that you don't have to do anything when you change "vmlinuz", so no more "agh, I forgot to run /sbin/lilo so now I can't boot.
