I agree, but I think it would be better to do this one step at a time. Let's get the things in the kernel working first to get rid of the namespace crash, then get the bootloaders to share the code. I can't test out a lot of the code, so I can't really do the bootloader changes, and the bootloader changes are completely independent, anyway, once zlib is moved.
