Hello,

> I was wondering if people will expect /boot.config to still be read and so code should be added to loader to continue to parse it, or if loader.conf can be considered the correct place and boot.config forgotten about?

If the early boot messages are not displayed as Olivier mentioned,
that would be fatal. On some systems no other output besides serial
is useful.
