Great! Are there more detailed plans, or is it just at the stage "we
want to support this sometime in the future"?

Yes, true! Sorry, I did see the next-server thing, but thought it
would be something different than server-name - but they seem to be
equivalent, wehn reading the docs.

I thought the server-name was for giving the nfs-root boot server -
the server from which the path given with
option root-path would be loaded as root fs. for diskless clients.

Yes, that is something to be thought about. On the other hand, if
there's a tab "advanced" or something like that (and the next-server
option is also something advanced already), people might(should/will
know, that they have to expect things that might be above their
knowledge and especially,  things they probably not need and therefore
don't need to care...

I might try one day, and then report success or problems :)
