I saw and replied to that thread a while ago; it contains no work arounds or alternatives to what will be the Fedora 18 boot loader options: all or none, also known as wipe out existing boot loader, or have an unbootable system. 

I have no doubt this will be seen as a major regression (one I agree with, but I think how people should connect the dots ought to be documented). I think work arounds should be documented, other than telling people to use kickstart.
