Potential concerns:
_ Syslinux's ports (e.g. to *BSD)?
_ Other tools / bootloaders that are somehow related or based on 
Syslinux (e.g. U-boot)?
_ Any of the above, BIOS/UEFI on non-x86 (e.g. *arm*)?

Since I am not a developer, I wouldn't know if it matters or not.

In any case, if this is not a critical bug (I have no idea), and 
considering that several popular Linux distros are close to release 
and/or freeze, perhaps this one should be left for after-6.03 
(somewhat similar to the gPXE deletion from the distribution 
archives)?
