I recently brought the homepage up here, but nobody really cared, though
I forgot to mention this sentence in my mail, i.e. that it's still in
development.
Anyway if you use SVN trunk then it should be working fine for you.
Password and savedefault are AFAIK the only missing features from
grub-legacy.
grub2 is still actively developed but not more in development like the
homepage says.
IMO it can be used by more people.

No it isn't yet included.
