Development stopped not because LILO didn’t need any changes, but because of its limitations (source):
NOTE: I have finished development of LILO at December 2015 because of some limitations (e.g. with BTFS, GPT, RAID). If someone want to develop this nice software further, please let me know …
Also, I dunno what your position is on this, but it is amusing to see calls for Canonical to replace GPL licensed software, with something with a more lenient license (BSD-3-clause). Normally that would cause outrage around here
Perhaps.
Has lilo needed any changes, though?
If it hasn’t, then no commits and no feature creep.

I recall something about LILO nor supporting RAID when i tried it a few years ago.
Par for the course with Canonical™, much like all the rust rewrites.
