Hey, we are talking about "documentation", not the full project. GRUB
legacy code will be still available while not actively developed, that's
fine, at least for me it makes sense. But deleting the online
documentacion just because the project is old/deprecated... wow, I cannot
understand that decision.
Anyway, GRUB legacy is still installed by default in some major
distributions (i.e., openSUSE).

nor "info grub" :-/
