Indeed it is, and it would simplify things greatly for us. Upstream are, of course, free to add whatever functionality they want. We, in turn, are free to enable/disable/ignore such features as appropriate, so the simple fact of their inclusing in the source is not an issue for me. All we can do is give it a try, report bugs upstream in the hope that we can distract devs away from their midi playing functionality, such that we get a common, usable, bootloader across multiple architectures. It's not really the 'Grand Unified Boot Loader' if we need instructions for more than one now, is it? :-) That said, I've not tried it out myself yet. Maybe in my next build!
