I have nothing to say about what you will be recommending as default bootloader in the future. Right now your wiki still recommends GRUB 2, and I suppose Coresystems folks will want to push for FILO. But this is not a discussion I want to be involved in (just wanted to clarify ;-)).
We've not been pushing any "default bootloader" in the past, nor will we do so in the future. I believe coreboot is about freedom and choice. And about making stuff that people can actually use. Now, this last criteria is different for a multitude of use cases.
What I'm concerned about is that http://www.coreboot.org/GRUB2 in the wiki currently points to a branch of GRUB that is (unless I missed something) no longer being maintained. And it provides information that will, over time, become more and more obsolete. I'm worried that this can reflect bad on the image of GRUB.
I wonder whether we need to keep our own GRUB2 page at all, since there's a coreboot page in the GRUB2 wiki already and if things go as you suggest, one of them will eventually be a copy of the other one.
So what I'd like is permission to keep it up to date, and reflect the current state of GRUB mainline. If you would give me a wiki account to do that, it'd be much appreciated.
Use ist wisely. And please create User:RobertMillan so people know who you are.
All the best,
