I have received some feedback on this, but I would appreciate it if more people could share their thought about it. I still think this is a feature we should add, even though the way this (and bootimg-partition) works has some drawbacks in terms of design. Since the codebase is now shared between image-bootfiles and bootimg-partition, I imagine that both are redone in a potential re-design. Best regards, Marcus Folkesson
