I don't think it's a good name. Even if the user has any idea what the kexec- lite project is and that this is a reference to it, you're mimicking a specific aspect of kexec-lite behavior, not kexec-lite in general. If it's an option to skip sha256 verification, then call it something like "-- skip-sha256". -Scott
