Hi,
I see the main objection here is about too many new modules, and the
use of script to configure boot process. But how about the new
parser/reader/menu_viewer model ? If I put them back in one
normal.mod, but keep the parts separated in source, would that be
acceptable ?
Also, some thoughts about grub2 authority. I do understand the needs
to keep source clean and safe for a boot loader, but sometimes the
process just seems too slow. For example, Colin's graphic menu patch
has been pending for almost half a year. IMO, if a patch implement a
generally useful feature, have no serious design faults, and don't
conflict with other parts of grub2, then it's safe to commit. For
small issues, we could fix it later.
Perhaps we can add a testing branch, in which developers have more
freedom to commit their work. The maintainer can review them
periodically and merge selected parts with the main branch. Many open
source project have more than one branches, perhaps it'd work with
grub2 as well.
