Hello,

as I am not allowed to ask on the arch-dev-public list, I have to ask
that here:

Hi,

I drafted a newsitem for when I'll kill GRUB legacy and move GRUB v2
to [core] in one of following days.

Any comments/improvements are welcome!

GRUB legacy no longer supported

GRUB 2.x has moved to [core]. With this move support for GRUB legacy
(i.e. version 0.9x) is dropped, which is now moved to AUR.

Although GRUB legacy will not be removed from your system and will
stay fully functional, you should consider upgrading to GRUB version
2.x, or one of the other supported bootloaders.

Please consult <a href="https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Grub">the
wiki</a> for detailed installation instructions for GRUB version 2.x.

What I do not understand is how much GRUB legacy is not supported
anymore? It won't get removed from the system, but will I have to do any
manual steps when updating the kernel or something like that?
At the moment I don't see any reason for trying to install GRUB2 again,
because last time it failed hard on my MacBook Pro.

Cheers,
Arvid
