What is bothering you?
I asked: | What is the size and performance impact of the suggested change for | typical use cases?
Can you please provide values for the size of the binary and the execution time?
It's not really critical, but I'd like to understand the impact of your changes. You use case is pretty exotic, so it seems a valid question to me to try to understand what the extended functionality costs.
Won't it be better to focus on the overall concept first and dig in the finer details later ?
I think right now, the question is -- do we want to support stdin as a source of payload for mkimage or not at all?
