Thanks for the notification.   Would you guys be interested in fixing 
this so that GRUB uses a vendor-encapsulated option, or do you think 
this usage is sufficiently entrenched that it is worth writing up an 
informational draft describing what GRUB is doing?   I can write up a 
description of how to use the ISC DHCP server to send a 
vendor-encapsulated option to GRUB if that would be helpful.   
Implementation on the GRUB side should be pretty easy.
