The below is incorrect. It is still being maintained until grub2 is out 
of beta and is considered stable. You're right about no new features, 
but from my memory of the page on gnu.org, it's still maintained for bug 
fixes. Also, I had no problem getting it to work with XFS. I haven't yet 
tried grub2, but I've read of several cases of systems becoming 
unbootable after the switch.
