[Engine-devel] Remove the 'bootable' flag for disks
I fail to see its value. What purpose does it serve? The only 'useful' place is in the run once the boot order - as we only define as the boot sequence 'Hard Disk' without mentioning which disk. We can clearly replace 'Hard Disk' with the list of all disks (and let the guest decide) and deprecate that flag ASAP, or we can have the list of disks in that list (and deprecate that flag). Y.

+1. It's the wrong way of modeling the boot relation which makes user interfaces very confusing. You can see this in places like foreman which has to show a help text explaining it.

anyone writing an RFE for that? Definitely a good idea unless there are good reasons for the current state…
