Complexity, indeed. I haven't looked into this stuff in literally decades, but: I thought the purpose of a boot loader was to pass control to code belonging to the OS - which would then be responsible for loading it's own drivers, etc.. This solution sounds like starting an entire OS, only to boot the next OS. But then I think UEFI is also stupidly complicated, and ought to be whacked down to its core functions. Dinosaur, am I.
