As many multitudes of people on this list have stated, Lilo is being 
maintained and has had a release as recent as this month.  So we're not 
talking about including some old ancient piece of software that hasn't 
had a release in years......

Does the fact that somebody on this list might actually choose a 
different software selection than you scare you?  If we all wanted to be 
forced into an install of a given piece of software we could have all 
gone with the Microsoft solution.
