Neal, the change proposal already made it clear that this isn't just about
syslinux, and this fact has been discussed over and over. Your speculation
here and earlier in this thread on what would and would not be accepted
just reads to me as inflammatory, especially when the ones actually doing
development here have shown a clear willingness both in this thread and
explicitly in the change proposal for collaboration and help with
development.

So the change is actually already being implemented without approval? This

An _unmerged_ pull request still in review that's tied to this change
_proposal_.
