Point taken.

But that's not a bad idea for wanting it... people could eventually
issue "live cd"-type filesystem images bootable off SD that do
completely different things to the built-in userspace.

Nobody is set up to do that yet though, given the situation it can wait
a few weeks and come as an update -- presumably we package U-Boot like
we package everything else?
