Well, this may be true - but the discussion list exists to help people deal with Debian GNU/Linux AS IT IS, not as you WISH it was. Griping about it DOES NOT HELP. Unless you have a useful suggestion, why not keep it to yourself? "Better documentation, easier to use" is NOT a suggestion - and it's certainly not a new idea. Since I could find no reason why you felt the need to switch from LILO to Grub, was LILO not working for you?
