In my opinion, matching all features of GRUB 1 on i386-pc should be the
highest priority.  It would allow distributions to switch to GRUB 2,
bringing more users and more developers.  As it stands now, GRUB 2 is
seen as something much more experimental and dangerous than GRUB 1.

We won't win many users by the mouse and bluetooth support if distros
don't switch to the new GRUB.  And distros are reluctant to make any
changes that would be seen as regressions.

If we cannot match some features, such as network support, we should
offer alternative solutions and document them.
