The grub developers may or may not be dictators but the reason that |
| 9 |
they don't want grub2 installed in a pbr is that they don't want to |
| 10 |
have to waste their time dealing with the bugs that'll come fro doing |

The whole point of using Linux is to be using FOSS not that you |
| 14 |
necessarily have complete control. There are fewer restriction in |
| 15 |
Gentoo than in binary distros but you can't do anything, or people |
| 16 |
wouldn't be posting their emerge output on a regular basis because of |
| 17 |
this or that blocker. |
