That's exactly what that story explained, that was sent around a week or two ago. Red Hat is making a legal loader that will work with UEFI and will have a signed cert.
This trusted loader thing can be disabled in any UEFI BIOS, though (read that article for more information.) Anyone comfortable going into their BIOS won't have to "crack" anything. They can just turn it off. Those people not comfortable with going into their BIOS can use Red Hat's loader.
