Are you serious?
Well, yes. It is since it was defined to really be 8 bits before, and there is no reason why a boolean would be 8 bits and not 1 or 16.
If it is overly cautious/not needed, then I don't mind removing the ':8'...

What's wrong with leaving it as 'u8'?
I just don't see the reason why expressing a boolean as an integer. Some advantage? (also helps us if someone does: 'if (var == true)', even thou we should try to avoid them)
