OK, so when Qi is improved so that partition selection is actually usable,
this artificial limitation will go away.
Qi _will_ need to be improved until it is usable for end users, or it will
fade away
Whether that happens with the suggested "menu partition" or with an improved
"blinking lights and push buttons" scheme doesn't matter. One way or the
other, Qi must improve.

Hmm, why can't this be solved with the append file (In /boot), like in
QtMoko?
