I find ‘bootable-kernel-arguments’ to be quite unusual for a public
interface.

It’d feel more idiomatic to me if, instead, we had an
‘operating-system-boot-kernel-arguments’ procedure that takes an OS and
returns (list --root --system …).  Then it’d be up to the caller to
append that to what ‘operating-system-kernel-arguments’ returns.

WDYT?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
