Everybody has time constraints and I think the answer you're quoting is pretty much well summarizing the point: yes, lilo is useful to some people.....yes, nobody stepped up to maintain it enough for being kept in the archive, even among those people....yes, keeping lilo in the archive is a burden for some *other* people (security team, D-I "team"....). So, the conclusion is easy to drive: if some people are interested in keeping the lilo package alive, then their only chance is to step up, keep the package maintenance alive by taking it over (I'm sure nobody will complain). This is not much argumentation needed here...:-) And, yes, I agree that the same could be said about grub2, indeed..:)
