I think what he means is that the haiku package should depend on the
haiku_loader of a compatible version (range). I agree.
Is the boot loader supposed to check that dependency when trying to find
bootable Haiku installations? That would be kinda cool.
It could do that, but the main point is that the dependency would
prevent you from updating an installation to incompatible combinations.
That aside, it would be nice to switch to a kernel args format that is
forward and backward compatible (e.g. KMessage based). The feature to
boot an old package state is also limited by the current format.
