Sigh.  Here's why I suggested it, in case you blinked.
Let's say somebody wants to use Grub to boot all their
operating systems.  To achieve this, it helps if the operating
systems support the multiboot spec.  Adding multiboot support
to BSD will probably be easier for various reasons if
there is an all-BSD way of testing it (without any
strange non-BSD bootloader stuff like Grub).

So while it might not seem useful in general,
it would be helpful in making it easier to use
grub and multiboot everywhere.

YMMV.  IANABHOAGH.
