But your requirement is just one out of a number of such requirements, and I see no indication that an "one size fits all" approach would be possible. > ultimately for Fedora we do not want to use uEnv.txt or boot.scr at all > we want to use a extlinux.conf file and sysboot provided by cmd_pxe the > rest is to provide flexibility and options to users to choose different > ways to boot. the above is not at all suitable. Just stating what you don't want, and what you want, is not exactly a constructive process. It's like saying: "I'm right, you all are wrong." The thing is, that the overwhelming majority of systems are not running a standard distro like Fedora, and don't have any such features as boot extlinux.conf files or sysboot or whatever -they don;t have it, and they cannot afford it because they have totally different requirements to meet. Please try and keep this in mind. Yourrequiremetns are but a special case here - one which we will try to support in the best possible way, of course, but it's just one out of many.
