New features for GRUB Legacy are not accepted anymore.  And I doubt
that multiboot will be changed...

But the good news is that GRUB 2 is actively being developed.  A new
multiboot standard is being worked on.  Have a look on the wiki for
more information about both.  Your suggestions sound sane to me so we
can at least consider them. :-)

Thanks,
