The close reason makes sense since the version that the fix is supposed
to appear in really is in rawhide (which is up to 0.97 right now).
However, this doesn't do anybody any good if this rawhide version never
makes it into the core product. Although the bug was apparently fixed
over a year ago, nothing that has shipped since (both FC 4 and RHEL 4
shipped after January/05) includes it.
My personal guess is re-opening the bug isn't going to help an FC 4 user
and waiting for FC 5 will give you a fix. I don't run Fedora so I may
not even know when that happens.
A RHEL 4 customer may chose to raise a stink and we may see a fix coming
then. However, I expect those RHEL customers that really, really need
mirroring for their boot drives will buy RAID controllers anyway (we
certainly do) so there's probably nobody out there that is going to be
able to escalate this.
I really dislike it when vendors close a bug because the fix is in their
development release. It is not fixed until this is shippable - after
all, it may very easily fail QA and never ship. For all we know, the
fixed grub may not be shipping because it simply doesn't work.
