Thanks for the response Bryan,

I'm not querying it from a disk space/ram point of view.

I've fielded an above average for any other release ammount of queries 
from people who's systems "installed lilo for them", I by no means 
suspect the system installed lilo, more of a case of user error, but I'm 
asking if there was a technical or policy based decision to include it 
as the installation process seems to be causing an above average from my 
perspective level of error/confusion amonst users who end up with lilo 
rather than grub they expected.
