I want something booting. If I had known earlier that FAT is working and not generating too large SPLs (e.g. if the default board config had changed...), I would have stopped using raw mode. Now, let's assume someone still wants raw mode (and [1] suggests that there might be cases), the raw sector mode is not so desirable because it forces you to place the binary at a specific location on the disk, requiring that to be synchronized with your image layout (such as a wks file). Given that the romloader happily uses part-by-id, I would prefer that for the SPL as well. Still, if someone configures another mode, that should still work (when providing the right magic sector value).
