I would not say 'without problems' tho, but it can be included for
sure. But including ia32 sutff is just delaying the 'all 64bit'
enviroments, so at least my point of view, it's just excess weight
which should have left out from the begining.

No. I don't see single reason to include lilo (or even use it).

Ok. I can think of single reason for usage, but that is VMware
ESX-server (and that does come with lilo and is ia32).
