Looks like the canonical source is here:
https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/trunk/syslinux-install_update?h=packages/syslinux
Right. Hmm. The painful thing will be transitioning the existing
package, as it would obviously break everything if the updated RPM just
removed the extant files from /boot.
I'm debating a bit whether or not this is worthwhile to do, or if I
should just focus more on GRUB, or if I should patch Anaconda+OSTree to
work around it. Maybe both of the latter two.
Anyways, definitely a useful data point that Arch keeps the data in
/usr and copies it to /boot via a wrapper.
