Description
In Fedora/ostree derivatives we use https://github.com/coreos/bootupd/ which overlaps with this project.
It's currently a dependency of bootc which I'd like to make cross platform (definitely supporting OpenSUSE there).
In https://github.com/coreos/bootupd/issues/468#issuecomment-2491799905 I was poking at things more.
Do you have any initial thoughts on this? On the implementation side I've been heavily trying to invest in using Rust for system-critical stuff, I think it's the right language for operating system update tools.
But language aside...would it make sense to try to have a "perl-bootloader" backend for bootupd perhaps?
