Grub2 really seems extraordinarily verbose. One can't help wondering if the simplicity of the old grub offended the developers. Simplicity does not seem to be highly valued nowadays.
grub2 has more utility (ie can boot of the newer fs types like ext4) and thus was inevitable.
It that's what they have on my Ubuntu netbook remix on my netbook, it is ludicrously complex, and there's no reason that one more parm wouldn't work in normal grub.
