Hey, juat some quick feedback upfront: We're working on some reshaping and streamlining of the book, intending to make it more about the concepts of LinuxBoot, and would prefer to leave specifics to the respective projects implementing it, such as u-root, which has its own website and repos. I couldn't quickly arrange something to push more content to the u-root side just yet, so I tend toward pulling this in here, but I'd like to think about it a bit more and check with other stakeholders.

See the calendar on https://linuxboot.org :) |
