Has been for a while.

Disk Druid is a front end part of anaconda.  A long time ago (RHL 7.2?)
it used fdisk in the backend to do the partition work.  Since 7.3 or
even earlier, disk druid has used parted to do all the partitioning
work.  This hasn't changed for many releases.

As I said, Lilo has been deprecated since RHL8 or even earlier.
