Comment 3 for bug 1723203

I recall that the vfat /boot partition is (was?) a requirement of the way the pi boots and reads the config.txt and kernel. This may have now changed?

I do find it useful to be able to edit the config.txt on machines that can't read ext linux file systems. I suspect this is case for quite a few people.

I guess that doesn't stop there being a raspberrypi raspbian built image with a vfat /boot, and a native rasbian built image without a /boot.
