I'm slightly concerned by the implied deprecation of the boot.scr method here, since at least Debian uses boot.scr exclusively and not the extlinux stuff. Will boot.scr be maintained going forward or are there plans to eventually remove it?
Can someone confirm that there is no long term plan to drop boot.scr support?
I hope it will remain, in which case I'd be happier if this parenthetical were remove or replaced with something like "(not used in extlinux.conf mode)".
