Funny thing is, that after you and I talked there was a discussion
about grub, and it seems it understands BFS filesystem now. However
the kernel is inside a package file I think, so it would need to know
how to get to and load the kernel.
It could be a good alternative and would work as a GSoC. It would be
outside my area of expertise though. I think we would want to work on
our own loader as well, especially if we want to add secure boot later
on.
But one option doesn't really exclude the other.
