UEFI, loader.efi and /boot.config

With a recent change I made for UEFI, we now install loader.efi onto the ESP and don’t run boot1. That means that /boot.config is no longer read, and so console settings need to be put in /boot/loader.conf. 
I was wondering if people will expect /boot.config to still be read and so code should be added to loader to continue to parse it, or if loader.conf can be considered the correct place and boot.config forgotten about?
