Yes: it's precisely doing "Super ideally, gnumach wouldn't even know how to parse bootscripts and load ELFs; that, too, should be done by some pre-init task". It can also be used for sub-hurds by supporting device ports etc., but whatever can do a lot can also do a little. Overall it's nice to have crazy ideas about making the boot flexible and all that, but as it is now it does work, and we also need to have a system that is relevant, i.e. that has some of the basic support that people would expect, such as broad network/disk support, USB etc. Samuel
