Yes, I was wondering what the expected behaviour would have been. I
would expect that something that is forcibly ON by default stays ON,
unless I explicitly disable it.

But the expected usage of syslinux is indeed that either is usually
used, not both (or more, given the following addition of the MBR, too).

So, I don't really care either way. Let's see what others think, I'll
rework the series if needed.
