Well, the bootloader spec has a lot of things missing that we
expect/want to support. Like multibooting, BIOS boot chainloading
booting, etc. 

Matthew Garrett started working on proposed changes to the spec: 
https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/MatthewGarrett/BootLoaderSpec/
but the owners of the spec didn't seem to interested in those cases and
Matthew went on to other work. 

So, I think we would need to get buyin to get our changes into the spec
and get everyone to agree on it before we would want to move to it.
