Is it set or not? Or does its value matter. I recommend the former and that we document it like that...

Hmm, other boot_* style kenv officially check for set + not-"no", but I don't know if that's really common knowledge. I tend to agree with you, though, and I'll amend the documentation to reflect that.

Yea, , those are just to set rb_howto... this seems different.

Advise that only the presence of a value matters

I am a bit confused, nothing seems to check it (boot_safe variable, that is)?

Correct, I still need to poke through rc scripts and see if any others besides devmatch might make sense to avoid if boot_safe is set.
