grub2 currently seems to be having 18 RC bugs, plus a whole bunch
of merged bugs, while lilo only has 1 RC bug.
I think the difference is that lilo will probably not work
for a lot of people while grub2 does work for a lot of people.
And I understand that Debian's lilo maintainer basicly doesn't want
to become upstream and rewrite everything when there is an
alternative.
But I agree that a call for extensive testing would be better if
number of RC bugs would be a lot lower.
