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