Yes same here. And in an attempt to be even lazier, is it absolutely necessary that the boot.iso image be non-compatible with every following release?*
Yes, it is completely 100% necessary. It contains the kernel and some of the modules are on the boot CD and some are contained on the second stage. You can't load modules compiled for one kernel on another and actually expect things to work (and without the second stage modules, you don't have useful things like ext3)
Not to mention changes within the loader which require corresponding second stage changes.
