11 That's good news. I think Gentoo has a policy on not providing
12 unmaintained software in the tree (they're getting tree cleaned.) Given
13 that Grub 1 is both beta software (it got stuck at 0.97, never made it
14 to 1.0) and unmaintained, stabilizing Grub 2 ASAP is the sanest thing
15 you can do, since even though it's also beta software, it's at least
16 maintained by upstream.
