The path to it being a viable option first has to go through
the process of the utter elimination of the foolish update-grub
preprocessor to construct the grub.cfg file from a million
bits and pieces.

Grub originally cleaned lilo's clock primarily because you
didn't have to remember to run extra tools to make the changes
take effect. Now the standard usage for grub2 requires running
extra tools again. Does no one remember how many problems
that caused?

One of the primary reasons it must not use a preprocessor
(particularly the way it is currently distributed) is that
you cannot actually configure everything you might need to
change. You can fall back on editing various files you
aren't supposed to edit, but the next grub2 update you
get will probably overwrite your changes.

You can even edit the grub.cfg file if you want to, but the
next kernel update will overwrite your changes.

Until the one and only place grub config information is
stored is the one grub.cfg file, grub2 is unacceptably
boneheaded and should not be the standard boot loader.

Just because 1.98 is a bigger number than 0.97, doesn't
mean it is a better number.
