Can one still use grub-legacy with modern kernels?

It's what I'm using for launching all my Debians, Fedoras, openSUSEs,
Mageias and more. Distros that no longer offer grub-legacy get installed
here sans bootloader and get booted from an "alien" grub-legacy.
However, all mine are either exclusively BIOS, or configured to boot a
UEFI system in BIOS compatability mode, and all are using MBR partitioning.

This is going to become more and more limiting as disks grow above 2 TiB requiring GPT partitioning, and newer UEFI firmwares do not have legacy BIOS compatibility any more.
