Well I talked now with Robert about it and we added now:

 Note: It is possible to install GRUB to partition boot records as well.
 However, this forces GRUB to use the blocklist mechanism, which makes it
 less reliable, and therefore is not recommended.

We just don't want to recommend it to install GRUB to a bootsector
instead of MBR because of the blocklists.
