One of the benefits of the BLS approach is that it makes it more 
straightforward to handle multi-OS scenarios - people can drop config 
fragments into a defined location and still have them picked up by any 
conforming bootloader. That seems desirable, but syslinux doesn't appear 
to have a straightforward way to handle that.

I agree that there are issues with the BLS as it currently stands (no 
support for chaining legacy OSes, the idea of using FAT for /boot) but 
it's more attractive to simply fix those bits than toss them out. I'm 
planning on submitting an F21 change covering this before the deadline 
(although, to be fair, the motivation here is mostly to get rid of the 
worst of os-prober rather than helping ostree - but if it works for you, 
that works for me)
