Sounds like a combinational explosion to me. I imagine syslinux has some
upper bound on the number of supported labels. Don't see the benefit.


When leaving a conference, being asked 'hey, how can i install
kde/gnome desktop by default?' i would be able to answer 'type
installdesktop or installdesktopkde and press enter'. This is way more
user friendly than 'install tasksel/first=gnome-desktop' that a human
won't be able to remember if said that way i wrote above. It happens,
it really happens all the time and actually i've no answer.
