It depends.  If we say GRUB 2 is "under development" but we don't say anything
about GRUB Legacy, people might think GRUB 2 is not ready.

I agree with Pavel, saying GRUB 2 is under development doesn't fail to the
truth, but then again there are many ways of saying the truth.  I think we
should make the website give a clear message that:

  a) GRUB Legacy is obsolete and we don't longer support it

  b) GRUB 2 is more mature than GRUB Legacy
