[arch-releng] [archiso] syslinux 6 status

[Keshav Padram Amburay]

Please wait for some more days before moving syslinux-6.02 to [core]. There
is an unrelated (to PXE) issue that may lead to BTRFS corruption when
syslinux 6.02 is used. See
http://www.syslinux.org/archives/2013-October/020956.html . I cannot
confirm this as I do not use BTRFS (yet).

With Best Regards,

Keshav
