Re: Inclusion of Grub 2 in FC7 ?

This shouldn't be too big of a deal using the grub2 name. Down the
road you can just make a symlink to grub2 that is named grub.
Currently I think there just needs to be a migration path to grub2.
Hopefully if it can go into FC 7 it can begin the migration.

I would think that using something like /boot/grub2 instead of /boot/grub
for config files and naming the executable /sbin/grub2 instead of
/sbin/grub would work OK. Once you do a set up with one of the grubs,
that one will be used for booting, and there isn't a lot you can do about
that.

The disadvantage of doing this is that down the road you will probably
want to rename grub2 as grub and there will be some pain realted to that.
