If by widespread you actually mean uncommon, then I agree. The word dual comes from a root word that means two. Any confusion on this point is made worse by using a prefix that doesn't mean two, but rather means many or much.

Right, hence dual boot. I understand in the context of booting, the programming/engineering vernacular is multiboot. But release criteria attempts to use plain language whenever possible, and multi-boot is less specific than dual-boot.
