Well, it can only be this change. I don't care to use syslinux4 for our
live-medias. It makes no sense at all to ship something broken. It
changed with RC1 so we can change it back with RC3 and test it again. I
still hope we don't have to do a RC4 or so. Thus gets only translations
and small bugfixes. I don't plan to add any new feature to it now. Also
Antergos just add some normal code to Cnchi ...
