Exactly, that's my point. If you accept that the bootloader is free of bugs, 
you can be reasonably sure that there are no holes left. At least there are

If you take possible bugs into account, there is no safe CRP. But that's a 
choice that is up to you.

Dominic

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
