But there are more interesting things to do first, right? Although I
really don't care for audio-support, I'd very much prefer to have audio
before yet-another-but-oh-so-cool way to boot...

See above:-)

A bootblock loader can be written (I think someone already wrote one
for 0.9, would probably need just minor tweek to run with 1.0 as well), but
it's not essential to have one to have a working system. It's definitely
a nice-to-have, not a nead-to-have. If you want it, write it :-)
