I suspect this is going to happen sooner than later. This is just
speculation of course, but the sort of vertically integrated
architecture systemd is implementing goes in the direction of playing
the DRM dirty game. Anyway I have no doubts it will be cracked open by
some clever hacker for a good show at CCC.
EFI is one of the inventions of M$ to keep free software out. But
since this is illegal, they are forced to sign the Linux bootloaders to
allow them to start, hence, AFAIU the concept of a shim. Now signatures
are going everywhere to make M$ happy, even down to the kernel, and all
this becomes entangled in a way that's more and more difficult to handle
and even understand for the bare human. That way only the big distros
will be able to provide a bootable OS and the poor DIY guy will be
definitely disgusted. This EFI thingy will in no way improve the
security. It is a pure fallacy.
We can survive as long as the BIOS allows non-EFI boot. I hope they
will be forced by law to keep this option.
