You're kidding, right? How are boot issues going to be magically resolved
by replacing lilo with another piece of software that anybody could be just
as unfamiliar with?

I don't follow the logic...

Remember, LILO's the bootloader that's been around forever and has proven
itself.


I'm not saying replace it, I'm saying add it as an option. Just a simple question, grub or lilo then install the appropriate boot loader. That way people familiar with lilo can install lilo, and people familiar with grub can install grub.

As far as I can tell, your problems with Lilo are due strictly to not
being familiar with it.

Yet another reason to have grub as an option. People familiar with grub are more likely to have problems relating to lilo and will be less likely to boot their system. If grub is an option, they would have a bootloader they are familiar with and can easily modify to fit their
needs.
