Please dont remove .machine.install.extensions it has benefits over boot assets
Feature Request
Description
If you're on newer Talos versions like 1.7.6 you get this warning while installing:
WARNING: .machine.install.extensions is deprecated, please see https://www.talos.dev/latest/talos-guides/install/boot-assets/
So the way arround is to use the image factory, which delivers install images with the extensions preinstalled which is also a great option!! Please dont get me wrong!
The downside is:
- If you want specific driver/firmware versions it gets diffcult. You cant select specific versions you want.
- If you want to implement you're own extensions you now must create boot assets instead just adding you're extensions as container images and ref them in the machine config.
It makes everything uncomfortable and more difficult and in some szenarios unusable. I want just to use talos and not creating my own image factory just to install drivers with a specific version.
The way by just declare install extensions containers via .machine.install.extensions is awesome!
I hope talos remains this feature.
