Excerpts from Matthew Gyurgyik's message of 2011-03-13 14:01:16 -0400:
Now that there is Syslinux support in AIF, should AIF select Syslinux as the "Default" bootloader? Does Syslinux play nicely with parted and GPT disklabels? Should Arch be trying to move toward a default bootloader that seamlessly supports GPT disklabels? Yes, Syslinux supports GPT as does the syslinux-install_update script

However, I want to know what the devs think as the "default" bootloader will likely have more new users using it.
