Jason, we're not talking about "removing" symlink support;
the pmax bootblocks have *never* had symlink support.

And when we have two-stage bootblcosk (RSN) it just means that you
won't be able to use a symlink to /boot. But you can tdo that
now anyways.

Yes. We will. We've already listed the constraints on those,
and why the approach Simon has chosen makes sense.
Constructive technical contributions to that are welcome.
