Hi,

I recently wanted to switch from grub to syslinux, but it could not boot
my /boot-partition, because it uses XFS.

Unfortunately only syslinux 6.04 supports XFS, while we stick on 6.03.
6.04 is somehow a "testing" version, thought it has been out for 2
years, so I marked 6.03 as "out of date".

I'm wondering a bit why we stick on 6.03, even Debian stable[1] has 6.04.
