So basically, wanboot images could be signed to make booting over LAN 
secure
and no other option can make it so?
And also AI (Automated installer) will cease to exist for illumos if 
there is no wanboot?

Is wanboot only a file, separate executive that could be added 
externally from illumos if needed for distribution?
