Right, I felt it hard to explain the direction I'd like to take on this list. So I have implemented the core functionality because that definitely has to be right. > - What are advantages in Vladimir's implementation? More features. > - What are disadvantages in Vladimir's implementation? In my opinion it is not clean enough and does not integrate with GRUB like I would like it to.

Right, but I have asked Vladimir several times for a discussion on this mailinglist about what the features are. That discussion did not properly take place yet. > - What are disadvantages in Marco's implementation? > > Fewer features are implemented. The kernel is bloated. What do you mean with the kernel is bloated? My patch moves a lot of responsibility to commands. I would say it is less bloated.
