Yup; I am now. I thought I might have missed something until I read comments 
from others on this list.

GRUB's a bootloader, ferkrisake, not Photoshop. I'll certainly admit that lots 
of cool stuff (RAID, mdadm, etc.) have come along since it was first designed. 
And that there's likely been some hacking of the original code to deal with 
that. 

But I'd have hoped that rewriting GRUB meant a smaller, simpler (aka more 
reliable) program with a simpler configuration, not bigger and more complex, 
and maybe it could try to boot from several devices/partitions, in case RAID 
broke -- I can live without the pretty background pictures(s)...
