Summary:  More information on GRUB / GRUB2 on website

Original Submission:  The website is very hazy on the following (crucial, IMHO) 
points:

* will GRUB2 still be Multiboot compliant? Will existing self-written kernels 
have to adapt to GRUB2?

* how far away is GRUB2? What is yet to be done? Any roadmap?

That being said, you still have GRUB dangling at 0.9x, "not been released 
publically", and yet being discontinued for some "GRUB 2" that might be years 
off for all we (casual visitors of your website) would know.

How can there be a GRUB *2* if there never was a GRUB *1* to speak of? I'd 
expect at least a 1.0 file release - however incomplete and inferor that 
version might feel for you - that people can use and rely upon until that GRUB 
2 materializes.

Just IMHO and my 0.02€ as usual.
