In the meantime, and just a FWIW and FYI, the original "high-priority" reason to add 64-bit support for ext4 in Syslinux is no longer relevant. I don't mean that such 64-bit support should not be added, but it is not as a "high-priority" as it used to be. Anyway, it would be nice to see some movement. Old pending-review patches are still pending (some, more than a year), several new patches are being sent, while git zytor is still partially crippled. To give an indication of the lack of available resources, the #syslinux irc topic has not been updated since before the final release of 6.03. I hope to see more improvements (patches sent, patches applied, known issues solved, regressions solved, more active-developers...). The Syslinux Project is not dead, just slightly comatose. Regards, Ady.
