It is a bit more complicated than that since parsers have been using
this syntax for a long time and, more importantly, it means
potentially updating all bootloaders.

I am not against updating the parser, but the s/:/|/ solution proposed
before is rather undescriptive and it is hard to find an alternative
character that would have a meaning here.

Thanks,
