Not exactly.  But using the linux kernel as a platform for bootloaders
looks increasing suboptimal to me.  There is a 2.5.x version btw.  I
will probably return to using the kernel after I have seen how far
I can push etherboot, with both an increase in speed it's 23:1 size
advantage, for the cases it works etherboot appears to be a much
better solution.

The interface has been fixed essentially fixed since the introduction
of the LinuxBIOS table so I don't see that as a problem.
