Since it appears that GNU GRUB developer User:Robertmh came up with this concept (and integrated it into GRUB), should he be credited? Or should it at least be clearly stated that this is an invention by the GNU GRUB team, so people know where this concept came from? —Hobart (talk) 07:29, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

Sure you want to report a false positive. 2607:FCD0:100:9:0:0:0:3 (talk) 03:33, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
