Heya!

So how does the ‘menu-entry’ example that Tomáš gave translate with this
new API? (Apologies for asking, I admit I haven’t fully adjusted to the
new API mentally. :-))

Sounds good in general, as long as we have default values that make
sense.

Can we assume that all the bootloaders have a notion of “menu” and “menu
entries”? Or do you think that very notion is not shared by all of
them?

Sure; having the implementations in (gnu bootloader xyz) follow the same
model sounds like a good idea.
Thank you!
