Secure boot support would simplify things for a great deal of users on new hardware (Windows 8 boxes ship with it on). So it's a pretty important feature going forward. I'm on the fence as to just putting a bug acknowledging the issue, and that currently you have to disable secure boot (pushing the fix to 7.0) vs just re-building with the new base.
