$BOOT being non-vfat is a fairly substantial departure from either
BootLoaderSpec, the original requires $BOOT be vfat, the mjg59 version
require $BOOT be firmware readable. That is not a complaint, I'm just
making an observation of the consequences. I'm personally on the fence
when it comes to the merit of a shared $BOOT. It sounds like a good
idea, but maybe it's specious?
BTW, I think we should actually relax the wording in the spec, and
move towards matthew's version on this: instead of saying "must be
vfat" to say "must be firmware readable" essentially means the same,
but is friendlier towards MacOS of course. So yes, we should totally
relax the language on this, but not, using completely arbitrary file
systems on this certainly doesn't make much sense.
