-This is TOO EASY! Anyone can make a new partition, edit menu.lst and boot another distro. We need to DO something!

-Yeah, let's change the syntax and put it in two new, completely different places, that'll teach the nOObs! Let's see them make some sense out of THAT!

This message is a quoted-message. I've already seen that on the web.
Please, read what grub2 can do before critizise like that. And the syntax is more clear now than before.
