Just an additional info:

In fact I was advertising a lot for this possible boot scenarios [2]
talk in India
last year other than U-Boot Mini 2013 starting from legacy to fit.
What I understand that developers are very interested and they
asked more possible useful scenarios with in the fitimage stuff
like loading different kernels (as part of visualization) etc.

May it would be good if any one is interested to talk on that more.
