First of all, we didn't say we don't want choice. Actually we
want more, including the choice of not having some choices.
The problems of FILO/Etherboot are:
	1. Some people have hard time building Etherboot.
	2. Some people don't want the feature provided by
	   Etherboot, they are satisfied by FILO itself.
	3. FILO (as FILO itself) does not have an official
	   host. If we want to continue maintain FILO to serve
	   people in 1. and 2., we have to put it somewhere. 

If you want FILO as FILO+Etherboot, why don't you get it from
etherboot project?
