I'd like to get opinions on what people think about creating a sys-boot category for the various bootloaders. A majority (if not all of them) can be found in sys-apps currently.
At the moment, I can identify 10 different packages for bootloaders for the various architectures:
sys-apps/aboot (Alpha w/ SRM) sys-apps/dvhtool (Mips) sys-apps/grub (x86) sys-apps/grub-static (x86) sys-apps/lilo (x86) sys-apps/milo (Alpha w/o SRM) sys-apps/palo (Hppa/Parisc) sys-apps/silo (Sparc) sys-apps/syslinux (CD-ROM) sys-apps/yaboot (PPC)
There are some other bootloaders not in portage yet that could join this group. A couple I know off the top of my head are arcboot (Mips), nuni (x86), and u-boot (universal).
Anyone else knows of some bootloaders not in portage that'd fit into a category like this, chime in as well.
