Description Daniel Riek 2008-08-27 14:30:46 UTC 
Syslinux is used in things like creation of the RHEL media, as well as for PXE boot environments, etc. For the latter, it would be helpful to have more flexibility to track new upstream features without impacting the RHEL internal use. There for splitting up the package would be a good idea.

Why would this be helpful?
