+GRUB 2 is derived from PUPA which was a research project to
+investigate the next generation of GRUB. GRUB 2 has been rewritten
+from scratch to clean up everything for modularity and portability.
+
+GRUB 2 targets at the following goals:
+- Scripting support, such as conditionals, loops, variables and
+  functions.
+- Graphical interface.
+- Dynamic loading of modules in order to extend itself at the run time
+  rather than at the build time.
+- Portability for various architectures.
+- Internationalization. This includes support for non-ASCII character
+  code, message catalogs like gettext, fonts, graphics console, and so
+  on.
+- Real memory management, to make GNU GRUB more extensible.
+- Modular, hierarchical, object-oriented framework for file systems,
+  files, devices, drives, terminals, commands, partition tables and OS
+  loaders.
+- Cross-platform installation which allows for installing GRUB from a
+  different architecture.
+- Rescue mode saves unbootable cases. Stage 1.5 was eliminated.
+- Fix design mistakes in GRUB Legacy, which could not be solved for
+  backward-compatibility, such as the way of numbering partitions.
