But Grub still has issues and since it is staying they are a problem. Grub can only boot a RAID if it can own the MBR which isn't always practical or even possible. And according to seemingly authoritative postings during this flame-o-rama, this limitation is known but not seen as a problem. I disagree, but apparently represent a small enough minority that ignoring it is going to be official policy.
