Oh I didn't know this part of the bin/init script. What do you think 
about this change? This would complete the config hierarchy by expensions:

+++ b/defaultenv/defaultenv-2-base/bin/init
@@ -25,6 +25,7 @@ magicvar -a global.allow_color "Allow color on the 
console (boolean)"
  [ -z "${global.editcmd}" ] && global.editcmd=sedit

  [ -e /env/config-board ] && /env/config-board
+[ -e /env/config-expansions ] && /env/config-expansions
  /env/config

  # allow to stop the boot before execute the /env/init/*

Otherwise I would move the config-expanions scripts to init/

The problem with the nv vars are the differences between the 
bootsources. Is there a way to add these vars with something like 
linux.bootargs.rootfs.mmc ?
