There's no dispute that upstream Grub2 is more complicated than Grub Legacy, 
differs in several significant respects from Grub Legacy, or that upstream 
strongly recommends against installing it anywhere except on MBR on BIOS systems.

As I wrote up-thread, I have many multiboot systems, and limit Grub2 to 
*buntu installations. The differences in basics between Grub2 & Grub Legacy 
are too many to be tracking what's what and where when 80+ distro 
installations among 12+ systems are involved. That Mageia's Grub2 
implementation may be better than average doesn't interest me. Grub2 as a 
complete rewrite remains v1 software in spite of its version claim, and 
therefore not yet ready for my use.
