Neal, the change proposal already made it clear that this isn't just about syslinux, and this fact has been discussed over and over. Your speculation here and earlier in this thread on what would and would not be accepted just reads to me as inflammatory, especially when the ones actually doing development here have shown a clear willingness both in this thread and explicitly in the change proposal for collaboration and help with development.
So the change is actually already being implemented without approval? This
kind of forcing facts turns the whole change policy to the absurd.
An _unmerged_ pull request still in review that's tied to this change _proposal_.
As I understand it, dropping support in Lorax affects both livemedia-creator
and livecd-creator, so the only way forward to build ISOs that actually boot
would be to fork Lorax. Unless we can reuse some other distro's tools
instead.
The liveinst part of Anaconda can be replaced with Calamares, but ISO
composing (which can be done with (livemedia-creator) or without Anaconda
(livecd-creator), but both code paths end up in Lorax eventually) is not in
the scope of Calamares.
