Also, RobbieThe1st has lately become active and (slowly) working on it again, so it's not "abandoned" code. The only problem I can see so far, is making it compatible, no matter is one is using multiboot, or not (up to date, two exclusive versions exist - upstream "no backupmenu", and slightly modified one, that loads from BM). I'm pretty sure, that this can be solved by less or more ugly dependency checking, or something like that.

Most important thing - what CSSU devs and trusted testers/users think about it?

/Estel
If BM finally has proper implemention in BootMenu and/or Multiboot I am OK with it. Now BM uses some kind of strange bootmenu.

Besides that, isn't it possible to port backupmenu's functions easily to a shell script and then run it from Pali's recovery console(framebuffer). That's the way I would like to see it. However I won't complain or whine about it, as I lack the proper skills to do it myself. I don't think it's fair to demand everything while I can't offer much in return...
