Hello!

We are thinking about deprecating and then removing the erl_boot_server (
https://erlang.org/doc/man/erl_boot_server.html) and corresponding support
in erl_prim_loader. erl_boot_server is used to boot systems that do not
have a disk to read Erlang modules from but instead do it via tcp.

So we would like to know if anyone is using this functionality? and if so,
what is the problem that you are solving with it?
