I understand your fearness. At next people would like to have emacs-functionality, mouse actions (in new uefi-bioses i saw this!) and videoplayers in ipxe ;-) > > Unfortunately, that wouldn't help in terms of byte count.

If someone want to have more, there could be a kind of chainloadable overlay for implementing your own ideas senseful, but this is really optional. I.e. the syslinux framework implements a compileable menu-framework for complex menus as described here: http://git.kernel.org/cgit/boot/syslinux/syslinux.git/tree/menu/README?id=ed67201fcc004ccb0eb20e5489d71ed69cfb7428 But in my case, "edit" satisfies all my needs.
