You've seen the resistance from uboot to stuff we do with the kernel,
this will be no different.  There's also quite a number of boot loaders
out there which aren't capable of running a binary, returning and then
loading and running the kernel.

Plus, of course, it's far from friendly towards TFTP setups.
