I think that LILO and GRUB should both be included in the distribution.
An important utility like a boot loader should have a backup version. I
needed lilo to restore my ability to boot when I changed drives on the
primary master.
Grub failed on an intermediate stage and I would have not been able to
boot my system successfully without having lilo.
If it is a better choice for the eyes free mode for users. It makes even
more sense to start including it again.
