It's in Debian Sid. But ya it is better and I'm surprised Ubuntu didn't adopt it years ago.

Grub2 != GRUB2 2.0
Red Hat
None of those is a 2.00 build. They're all various 1.99s.
This does seem pretty late, for Ubuntu. They're carrying a ton of patches against 1.99 which don't apply easily against 2.00. It'll be interesting to see if they can get that all sorted out in time without losing any functionality.

So this will fix the large disks issue, but the hot issue of the day is secure boot. The boot loader will still be playing catch up for a while

Common for Ubuntu is usually to backport software versions to work with older dependencies... I used grub2 for over a year without problems so far on other distributions.
