Hey, we are talking about "documentation", not the full project. GRUB legacy code will be still available while not actively developed, that's fine, at least for me it makes sense.

I can be on non-linux system without access to any "man grub" nor "info grub" :-/ Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
