Yes.

Hi Gene,

At this point, I have spent quite a bit of time cleaning up the readdir 
code in Syslinux 4.  I don't really think there is any point in getting 
the Syslinux 3 readdir code up to snuff at this point; let's instead 
focus our efforts on Syslinux 4.

I would love to see you spend your efforts at improving rosh.  Syslinux 
5 is also including a rewritten CLI written in C; we perhaps should 
think if there are things in rosh that should be included in the new CLI 
or if there are other useful connections.
