Many other distros make the assumption that there's only one bootloader - which is sometimes good because you can have another bootloader the distribution doesn't know about (in addition to the one the distribution does know about) that supervises all the others. Well you're right multiple bootloader may co-exist on multiple partitions. However I'm not sure how guix would manage more than one bootloader at a time ? Ludo, Leo, any thoughts ? Mathieu
