See recent discussion started by Colin about the problem that D-I is
normally not allowed to change the config files of other applications.
That issue needs to be resolved.

See the meta BR...
One other is no support for bootloader password, but I guess that is
something that could be accepted as it is only an expert option.
But all basic functionality should be there, and respecting boot
parameters (also quiet and vga=) is very much basic functionality.

The question is not if grub2 itself is still experimental, but that its
integration in D-I is incomplete, which makes its use *in D-I*
experimental. Users should be able to expect no regressions relative to
grub when the switch is made.

No. Why should I have? I _know_ that grub2 has been improving, but I also
know that nothing has been done to complete its integration in D-I.

It does not. That is something your MUA is responsible for: it should
recognize that a mail is list mail (based on headers) and act accordingly
(although different lists/communities do have different policies).
Kmail automatically replies correctly only to the list.
