and more:

* LILO will not boot if you use something else than the MBR, this means:
* LILO will not boot if you GPT.
* You will not use HDD bigger than 2TB.

and:

* LILO will not boot if you something else than x86/x86_64, so you
will not use lilo on eg ARM.
* LILO will not boot if you use RAID.
* LILO will not boot if you use BTRFS.
* LILO will not boot if you use partition-less schema (raw hdd):

and finally:

"NOTE: I plan to finish development of LILO at 12/2015 because of some
limitations (e.g. with BTFS, GPT, RAID). If someone want to develop
this nice software further, please let me know ..."

Conclusions? If we want to use lilo, then, we need to add this
functionality. I like this idea, but this means a lot of work :/
