From that perspective, extlinux does offer a significant advantage: it is plain simple (or can be anyway). This might be attractive to a not-insignificant portion of the Fedora users if it was explained and demonstrated to them.
Yes indeed. And I do happen to also run it on my laptop.
Having said that, a question Matt since you seem to be much more familiar with extlinux (an I assume syslinux also): does extlinux/syslinux currently have the functionality to replace grub2? Does it support EFI?
Yes, with some limitations. Probably gummiboot is the interesting thing to look at in that case.
