From the read it looks like it hasn't been kept up to date. Probably as Revogirl Passed away a while ago. RIP.

Seems like it was work in progress and looked promising.

Is there any benefits to using RevoBoot vs Chimera/Chameleon/Clover? Just curious is all. I also noticed they only got Mavs to boot in safe mode.

Thats not exactly what I was asking. I wanted to know if it had any features we may want the the others don't have. There is not a lot of info on this bootloader and I do like to try them all out but this one doesn't even have an installer.

This its special branch of chameleon that must be configured for every hardware soo then u dont have big bootloader but small and fast and run exactly what u tell him.
And no this one dont have anything that other bootloaders dont have.
But its good experience to try it out.
i really have fun with it.
