Sigh. Here's why I suggested it, in case you blinked. Let's say somebody wants to use Grub to boot all their operating systems. To achieve this, it helps if the operating systems support the multiboot spec. Adding multiboot support to BSD will probably be easier for various reasons if there is an all-BSD way of testing it (without any strange non-BSD bootloader stuff like Grub). So while it might not seem useful in general, it would be helpful in making it easier to use grub and multiboot everywhere. YMMV.
