I could split this into two series of ~25 patches, perhaps. Would that be OK? I believe no one else is using expo yet, apart from postmarketOS, except the trivial case of 'bootflow scan -m' but I'm hoping that will change in the future. I believe that Linaro is mostly encouraging EFI bootmgr and the text-based menu. That could be converted to use expo but I doubt anyone has looked into that, particularly as grub is being pushed as well. I did look at converting the existing menu code a year or two ago, but it seemed better to eventually deprecate it. Also, there is a following series which I split out and will post separately, but not for a while as I have a lot outstanding. Regards, Simon
