Sure, but if we already depreciated multiboot due to NAND wear reasons (despite fact, that NAND wasn't worn so much, until you shuffle kernels on every reboot, and reboot twice a day), I don't see, why we should propagate flashing u-boot with kernels attached.

There is *no* valid reason to attach kernel to u-boot - having u-boot only in kernel area, and loading kernels from regular space is both technically and practically better.

Anyway, I don't request moving into u-boot only in NAND area for everyone - I just suggested it as side note (because it's logical, see all of the above).

Main thing I've requested, is to merge already existing (i.e. someone did it months ago) patch to update menu script, that detects lack of attached kernel, thus *in* creating useless menu entry.
