I have nothing against compromizes.  But are you soure about the
"everyone" in the second sentence?  I think we know a few guys who
mightnot.

And actually it might backfire as well - I see JC argumenting: now
they (finally!) support the one true image format, no let's throw out
their stupid uImage support, nobody needs this any more.

Just like nobody needs to be able to use a ramdisk image from NOR
flash without loading it to RAM before, etc.

Best regards,
