In what way. As far as I can tell I haven't gotten a grub upgrade in |
| 7 |
the last 5-7 years. Since it is built static on amd64 (or at least it |
| 8 |
was when I last installed it) nothing ever breaks. Maybe if I changed |
| 9 |
my boot partition to a different filesystem it might have issues, but |
| 10 |
grub just strikes me as one of those aint-broke-don't-fix things. |

By all means push out the new version, make docs, ewarn the user and |
| 13 |
all that. I just don't see the point in having something messing with |
| 14 |
the MBR unless it is more likely to break if we don't. |
