BTX isn't that old. Also, grub is the stuff on your plate when you're
eating. Adding multiboot support to the kernel is good, but good luck
with that. Having Grub as default bootloader is not imo. We'd become
even more locked into GNU technology. I'm not sure we need a colourful
and fleshy (?) bootloader just to differentiate DragonFly BSD from FreeBSD.
