I would say that, in practical terms for users, this is about being 
able to (again) use the "pxelinux-options" tool (under the "utils" 
directory in Syslinux official distribution archives) so to hardcode 
"before-DHCP-options" or "after-DHCP-options" options.

The feature was broken since 4.xx, and it is now (hopefully) fixed in 
6.03.

In addition to the (broken-in-prior-versions) options for BIOS 
clients using pxelinux.0 (TFTP), it should now also work for BIOS 
clients using lpxelinux.0 (FTP/HTTP) and for UEFI clients using 
syslinux.efi.

Regards,
Ady.
