Fedora, grub/lilo, and software-RAID

[bishop]

Can I second the request to keep lilo around?

Until it becomes possible to duplicate lilo -R safely, grub hasn't 
surpassed lilo's features and can't (imho) replace lilo completely. 
Availability as a package that's not generally included in any 
installation profiles but can be selected specifically during install 
would be an excellent compromise.

I have a few machines on which I've grown to love Lilo on the MBR and 
grub on the chain-loaded partitions.  It's beautiful.  It's magic.
