Why make the "bootdelay" variable in any way special, compared to all
other variables? Such inconsistent handling makes no sense to me and
will only confuse users (not to mentiuon that you don't even attempt
to document the change).

NAK.

If you need any such evaluation, then perform it for example as part
of a PREBOOT command. This allows you to do the same thing, in a clean
way.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk

The word "fit", as I understand it, means "appropriate to a purpose",
and I would say the body of the Dean is supremely appropriate to  the
purpose of sitting around all day and eating big heavy meals.
