i don't have an argument against it, hiro. you seem to need to see it mentioned, and i have no reason to refuse you. but this was framed as if omitting it was a problem, so i was asking why it was a problem. i'm trying to follow your chain of logic so i understand it clearly. so far, we have: "it's subtle." my point was that i doubt the information is critical. we already say it works. if it doesn't work, knowing the magic word isn't going to make it work. i've typed a long paragraph here to answer your question as comprehensively as i can.
i think we should also still provide a fuller explanation in the fqa section about bootable media.
