So, lets try and bring this back around.  It seems like the general
concensous was on Yes for an opt-in and documented set of requirements.
Can you please patch one of the boards you have with the set of required
variable names and commands (and spelled out, rather than relying on
config_cmd_default.h) ?  I imagine we still need to chat a bit more
about if a boot script should come from the distro or be built-in, but I
also believe that if you write it into your patch as a U-Boot built-in,
that'll further the discussion along nicely :)  Thanks!
