Dear Stephen Warren,
In message 5205748D.7060308@wwwdotorg.org you wrote:
It appears boot time and increased complexity are no concern to you?
I don't think this is any different than a BIOS booting grub on x86.
Probably not. But do we really have to chose the worst possible example as guide?
Why should the boot process take a minute or more when it could be done in a few seconds instead?
I think we should focus on what users want and need, not what makes life easy for developers.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
