Well, PV-GRUB was based on GRUB Legacy, so in some sense its underlying code has been deprecated for years. It's just that until recently there hasn't been a viable replacement (other than PyGRUB, which has fundamental security issues because it parses the domU's filesystem in the dom0). If you want a sense of the general direction here, see https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2013-12/msg00184.html and thread, although I need to entirely rework the patch set.
