Oneiric has been released, and since it's a non-LTS release it will not have point images created, so it actually cannot be fixed in oneiric any more.

Precise will have more point releases, but this is a significant feature & UI change as well. This does not qualify for an SRU, as per current policy.

os-prober has improved and now complex multi-boot environments are actually handled better than before.

But I can still see slight benefit of not installing bootloaders. This needs design specification changes, as by default we want to make sure users don't even need to know what a boot loader is and still be able to boot their windows/mac/previous install effortlessly. Also, chances of selecting no bootloader installation by accident should be avoided as much as possible, as recovering/reinstalling grub by hand is not for faint hearted.
