[CentOS] why was LILO removed from centOS 4.2?

The question remains unanswered: WHY was LILO removed?

We/you/they removed *something that works*.

What took its place does not work everywhere LILO does... a functionality loss.

I hear folks saying "that loss is corrected in a future release"

That's saying GRUB is *almost* ready to replace LILO, which has been removed prematurely.

The question was "Hey, REDHAT, *WHY*?"
