I have to admit that I never understood the fuzz about being able to boot zImages. I see more disadvanatges than advantages for this, but some ARM people go frenzy when this topic pops up - see recent discussions about removal of uImage support on the AKML.
Sure, but let's try to offer them a compromise. Everyone will be happy that way at least to some extent.
I have nothing against compromizes. But are you soure about the "everyone" in the second sentence? I think we know a few guys who mightnot.
That's like in calculus, the epsilon might be infinitelly small :)
And actually it might backfire as well - I see JC argumenting: now they (finally!) support the one true image format, no let's throw out their stupid uImage support, nobody needs this any more.
I believe there is a way to avoid this.
Just like nobody needs to be able to use a ramdisk image from NOR flash without loading it to RAM before, etc.
