To use an external stored environment *only* for development purposes or tests and to keep the possibility to do so. The production system should always use a well defined built-in default environment (but without an error message due to an empty storage which always looks more like "it works by accident"). > A rescue barebox to repair a borken bootloader and/or environment? No. If the environment is broken (but valid from the checksum point of view) this new feature wouldn't help. Repairing a broken environment/barebox is a different issue.
