I don't think that it's reasonable to expect boom to make things work that are
explicitly outside the scope of the standard (BLS) that we are following. We
can try to find ways to accommodate it to the best extent possible, and will
look at doing so, but fundamentally we will always be limited by the
applicability of the standard that we are adopting.

Define "real boot management" ;-)

The purpose of this is as documented: to allow *any* booted instance of the OS
(including snapshots, which may have been taken prior to the creation of other
managed instances) to manage *any other*. This can only be done if there is a
single, shared system-wide source for this configuration (which is exactly what
the BLS sets out to create).
