I think the only point that was made is that a different bootloader
has a different implementation of the same protocol, just like for any
other protocol.

An implementation relying on a 120 lines switch statement, and a 250
lines functions, that hardcodes the backing storage device.

I'm not sure this is such a good inspiration.
