Not true. The code is still there, just not enabled by default. Besides
he tried 5.0.6.

The are two problems with his posting. First of all it went to the
developers list. It should go to the users list. Secondly he attached a
tarball. Now most if not all of the developers have day jobs and lives
to lead, besides monitoring this list. So speaking for myself if it's
going to take me a couple of minutes more to read his attachment, I'm
just not going to bother. Just include the text file in the body of the
email if necessary.

Everybody thinks solutions should only take a minute or so for a
developer to post, but when everybody expects that, it just doesn't
scale.  That's why my default policy is to trash emails sent directly to
me and encourage the community to share Q&As on mailing lists.

But my guess is that he forgot to specify the Etherboot signature,
option-128.
