It's so, so, SO, unnecessarily complicated while providing me no new features (like a faster boot). LILO worked. Even with LVM. As the bootloader, of course it exists outside of the kernel, initrd, my rootfs. That code would run, find the kernel, run that.
GRUB has some slight improvements like running other operating systems, but that's about it. Unsure if it's worth the price...
None of this crazy modern boot-time ouroboros. Too many layers, too much software.
At least we should _get_ something for this. How about a 2s cold boot on my thinkpad?
