Re: [dhcwg] draft-ietf-dhc-dhcpv6-opt-netboot-05 - how to proceed?

[Ted Lemon <[e-mail]>]

Wow, a lot to think about.   I guess we should have had this  
discussion a year ago - I'm sorry for not doing more to make it happen  
earlier.

I like the idea of getting rid of the priority entirely, and that  
makes sense if the bootfiles are all the same.   And since there's no  
way to differentiate between them, it makes sense that they are the  
same.   However, mentioning PXE and yaboot does point out a problem  
with this approach: it failed last time.   We wound up with yaboot  
options that were allocated without a draft or contact with the IANA,  
and PXE was a bit of a mess too.

So let me ask you this: suppose we took out the priority option, and  
only allowed a single boot parameters option.   Would that draft be  
something that people here would actually use as it was?   Or would  
they find themselves adding extensions?
