The boot-counting file-renaming entry-sorting part that the boot loader implements is moved to the main document. The second document describes a specific implementation that is provided through systemd units. The sorting algorithm is extended to say that bad entries should be sorted later. I also added a note that bad entries should be available for booting. For some reason, the second document said that it applies only to EFI systems. AFAIK there are no implementations for non-EFI, but the specification should work just fine, if somebody were to implement it. So that part is dropped. Fixes #23345. Sadly, bootctl doesn't implement sorting of boot entries with counting :(((( But I'm leaving that for another PR.
