Yes, considering its defects, I'm shocked that Fedora hasn't yet
incorporated it. From what I understand there are advantages, but I

people back to Lilo. Oh ...wait, that worked without a lot of reading
and opportunities to call newcomers stupid, and we all know that that
isn't the Linux way.

I doubt it, I suspect most Fedora developes are techies so they probably
use Debian or Arch. :)
