That is completely impossible. It must be in base. There are 3 copies in base -- userland, kernel, and bootblocks. They must be kept in sync. It gets updated when things matter. I wasn't aware a change had happened which matters. The thread makes me unenthusiastic, because I cannot tell what changed that matters. Updating it is not a trivial effort, because every bootblock needs testing. I've done it twice...
