I find no valid argument in that page for not using the fedora packages.  
building from source as you do means you lose the ability to verify whats 
installed on your system.  there is zero reason why you cant install grub2 as 
the only bootloader using the fedora rpms  you just need to run "grub2-install 
/dev/sda" for instance  and going off and doing something random on your own 
means that others can not benefit from your efforts.  grub2 could be a viabl 
option for fedora  but it still needs a lot of work.  the path to it being the 
default resides in more usage testing and bug fixing in fedora.
