Adding "discontinued" warning for LILO/ELILO. As of January 2016, LILO is no longer actively developed. ELILO project is orphaned, Debian dropped it in 2014, and RH & SUSE stopped using this tree (and feeding back change) long before that so no longer interested in working on it. Apart from Slackware, which still has packages for LILO and ELILO, I don't know if anyone else uses them, and anyway, Slackware has an active and well-configured package for GRUB.

Can we do something about this? |

From what I understand from Wikipedia, Syslinux is still in use for booting
ISO 9660 disk images.

If anyone knows other viable alternatives they can be added (I only added
what I used or I know for sure are OK).

I have never used Syslinux, but from what I found on the net it seems that it is a bit dead.
