All depends on your point of view :)
For me, I'd rather never boot wince again so prefer the roms with linux.

Others may wish to boot wince more often than not and use linux
occasionally so using the cyace->crl bootloader->linux method may suit
them best.

It <<may>> be possible to save the wince images (bootblaster?) in the
future and then simply boot wince off the compact flash into wince, for
those with linux rom images.

Once the new bootloader is available for the j720, I will try the above
(will reinsert my wince roms) to see what extent the above can
be done.
