Hi Edward,

GRUB Legacy is free software, and we're glad that it is useful to RHEL and
Fedora, but please understand that it is not currently supported by us.  It'd
be in Red Hat's best interest to contemplate a transition to GRUB 2, which is
where the development effort is moving towards nowadays.

Debian and Ubuntu have already committed to this goal.
