Limine bootloader has been updated from 10.7.0. Unfortunately, we cannot bump to the 12.x version, due to a change in I/O handling that renders our ext4 patch invalid. See here. To jump to 12.x, we will have to drop support for ext2/3/4, which will require 'vmlinuz' and 'initrd' to be in a vfat partition. Very reluctant to do that.
