Thanks for the clarification James. Is there any point then in still having
the API or mentioning of it anyway? Would it not be less confusing to
archive mentioning of it on the wiki and concentrate on xmlrpc in the wiki?
I would be happy to do the legwork to get it done if there is enough
consensus.
Probably wouldn't be a bad idea, knowledge of the boot api is only
really required if you'd want to replace XMLRPC with some other
system. Feel free to tackle it :)
