Dear Dennis,

But your requirement is just one out of a number of such requirements,
and I see no indication that an "one size fits all" approach would be
possible.

Just stating what you don't want, and what you want, is not exactly a
constructive process.  It's like saying: "I'm right, you all are
wrong."

The thing is, that the overwhelming majority of systems are not
running a standard distro like Fedora, and don't have any such
features as boot extlinux.conf files or sysboot or whatever -they
don;t have it, and they cannot afford it because they have totally
different requirements to meet.  Please try and keep this in mind.
Yourrequiremetns are but a special case here - one which we will try
to support in the best possible way, of course, but it's just one out
of many.


Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
