That sounds great.  But since it is not a reality for users who are not

people who want to hack on the Hurd but aren't interested in boot loader
development.

This patch is really small.  It's just not that hard, and the few minutes
taken there are fewer than each new Hurd user spends trying to figure out
how they got their module commands wrong.
