The latest releases of openSUSE, Fedora and Mandriva continue to default to, 
if not only offer, legacy Grub, meaning choice of bootloader has little or 
nothing to do with kernel choice. Here in this building the only Grub2 
installations on the 20+ multiboot machines hosting over 100 OS installations 
are those few installations of various Ubuntu flavors, which in every event 
are not installed to any of my MBRs.

Excepting mostly EFI situations, Legacy Grub is still quite usable with the 
latest hardware, filesystems and OS versions. Bootloaders needn't care how 
many bits the kernels it loads support.
