Yes, it's that I should have done before... But when I last looked at
Grub2, network boot wasn't either in the objectives... It has changed a
bit, but It seems to be yet in preliminary discussions. And I don't
have knowledge to help a lot ...

I can understand your view point. I was only a bit sad to miss the
integration so close. But if we want Etch to be out one day, we must
freeze updates before.
