We said "`$BOOT/loader/` is the directory containing all files needed for Type #1 entries" which is blatantly wrong. And also saying that we define two directories, /loader and /loader/entries, but only ever defining the second one was not very consistent. Instead, let's say that /loader/ is for "boot loader configuration", and /loader/entries has the snippets. A new section about /<entry-token>/<version>/ is added. This is described as the "recommended layout for additional files". Also, we said that ID= should be used in the file name, but in fact it wasn't in the example that was given, and afaik, nobody ever did that. So this part is reduced to say "kernel version (as returned by `uname -r`, including the OS identifier)". AFAIK, all distros include some form of OS identifier in the version, so this should be good enough. Since we now don't depend on autodetection (e.g. with entry-token and layout configured), the installed doesn't need to always create /loader/entries and things will still work. So don't say that the installer needs to create it. Part of the discussion is moved to the Discussion section. Overall, this brings the specification more in line with actual practice.
