[ros-dev] Freeldr Question

[Alex Ionescu]

Hi Brian,

No, it would keep the same GUI as it has now, since people seem 
comfortable with it. (I did get a lot of requests for the NTLDR-like 
interface and I might code one in as an optional interface since it's 
only 30 lines of code, but that's beside the question at the moment).

The reasoning is like I said earlier, tidying up the code and reducing 
complexity in the software, which are very important parts of good 
development and a scalable codebase.

Best regards,
Alex Ionescu
