[Slackbuilds-users] grub_legacy worth keeping in the repo?

I'm not a GRUB user, never have been (I still use lilo and legacy
boot, or elilo if that's impossible), so I have to ask...

Is there a reason for grub_legacy (grub-0.97) to exist? Is there
hardware that is supported by the old version of grub that can't be
booted with the newer grub that ships with Slackware? Does anyone on
this mailing list own such hardware, and would miss grub_legacy if it
were gone?

I'd just ask the maintainer (Jan F. Chadima)... in fact I did, but
never got a response. So I'm asking here.

Anyone?
