Grub2 is deployed for example with new Ubuntu installations by
default and Debian Lenny + Squeeze provide Grub2 as well. The next
stable release of Grml (upcoming in those days) provides Grub2 as
well.

Grub 1.97 (which counts as Grub2) was released a few days ago and
provides improved GPT support:
