You're missing a huge part of the picture. Having lilo the package (even
though as you note, it's not really maintained) might not be much, but it
requires a lot of complicated kludgy infrastructure in the installer, and in
mkinitrd, etc., and makes kernel updates very fragile.
what utter crap!
we always build our own kernels using the std makefile and the source
from kernel.org, if you can compile a kernel then ur done either way,
nothing else to do
