Adam: even though at the time GRUB 2 does not have any killer features over
GRUB, GRUB 2 has more active code base, that has potential to be shared across
distributions (unlike GRUB whose official upstream had been long dead until
very recently, and developed into various vendor-specific forks each carrying a
load of custom patches, often resulting in regressions).

Some of interesting features GRUB 2 has now is native support for UTF-8,
support for variety of graphic modes, RAID and LVM support.

Note that including GRUB 2 in distribution does not imply any support in the
installer. GRUB 2 kernel can be booted from withing GRUB in in the same way as
Linux kernel. This package does not intend to replace GRUB (at least until it
is feature-complete), but to serve users and developers that are interested in
GRUB 2's features.
