Most times I would agree with this.  However, more than one person on 
this list has mentioned that they *cannot* boot with Grub on their 
system, so the initial Grub install would render their system useless 
unless they had some kind of non-Grub bootable disk laying around.

This is one of those circumstances where it would make life a lot easier 
to just have it as a selectable option.  Maybe even one that shows up 
under an advanced options menu?
