@ipxe-devel my only argument for board-product is that it is useful during
automated intake, which is what we use iPXE for. However, it is possible to
collect this data later in the process, so it's not essential to have at boot
time. The board-manufacturer is not likely to vary from chassis manufacturer,
just because of how most large companies tend to perform their orders for
servers - that's why it was not proposed.
I can see your point when it comes to community docs, but my suggestion to move
ipxe.org to github.io would still keep control within the hands of selected
gatekeepers, such as yourself, and have the added benefit that changes like
this one could be submitted with accompanying documentation, which might help
keep the docs complete / up-to-date. But, this isn't the right venue for such a
discussion :)
I'm updating the patch to remove board-product, and squash the commits.
