How about the "HIDDEN" issue? How about updating and testing the 
gnu-efi submodule? How about the "keeppxe" patch (perhaps solving a bug 
that has been present since v.5+)? Or how about the feedback I wrote 
when 6.04-pre1 was released? How about a "gptmbr.bin" that supports 
XFS? How about the many regressions still present, for so many years? 
And the pending patches?

Let's have an automatic daily build! Moreover, let's have an automatic 
daily release! One new official release version every single day. That 
way, the so many many many users of Syslinux 6+ would get a newer 
updated version, with a shiny new number, every single day! Yeah, I'm 
sure that would solve all the problems.

I seriously doubt that there are many people actually requesting for an 
updated release, except maybe for super-lazy maintainers that don't 
really care (and I am able to prove this with facts, but I won't waste 
my own time with something that won't be even read).

I wish and hope for actual development. Shiny and, at this point, 
completely useless numbers, won't change the facts.
