If a user installs GRUB now with this bootargs patch, then later if we wish to add a debug option with "fancy parser" they will no longer be able to boot, as the syntax will change.
Now: "boot grubof hd0,6" Later: "boot grubof prefix=hd0,6 debug=all"
I do not like the prefix= syntax. What I want is:
Now: "boot grubof (hd0,6)" Later: "boot grubof (hd0,6) --debug=all"
Users trying to boot with the old syntax will fail.
In my case it will still work. :)
In your case we are stuck with an inflexible syntax forever. There is a reason that commandline tools use named switches, and do not require them in any particular order.
