De gustibus non est disputandum.
To me, one of the attractions of the whole Free Software thing is its
"penetrability". I see that there's a force field among many poles,
functionality and "getting things done NOW" being two very valid ones
which sometimes are at odds with simplicity. And I readily admit that
preferences are extremely individual.

Things get more complicated when you're in the position of "fixing"
it :-)
And please, again: the fact that I disagree with some Grub design
decisions shouldn't detract from the fact that I have utmost
respect for the Grub developers and packagers. Their hard work,
their decisions.
