isohybrid has 2 variants
...nux.bin boot images from other versions.
This applies to the executable from isohybrid.c and to isohybrid.pl.
So my proposal would be to fix isohybrid.c and to declare
isohybrid.pl frozen and deprecated.
(As long as isohybrid.in exists it will be able to adapt to
the MBR templates of new SYSLINUX versiosn.)

Is there a special reason for this ? (Except the known bugs which
affect Linux binaries, too.)
Have a nice day :)

Although I hope someone can still update the Perl variant, at least
it should not be deleted and the differences / limitations should be
documented. FWIW, I would not want to "declare" it frozen, as it
would stop any potential contributions attempting to improve the Perl
variant....
