Well, there were multiple reasons for it... first of all, there are only
a small number of systems that are affected with this problem still, and
 until recently the layout of the Syslinux core segments were such that
it didn't matter anyway.

This is why testing can never find all bugs: sometimes the bugs are
latent, and will only be exposed when *something else* (in this case,
the Syslinux segments) change.
