I'm confused as to why we need most of these changes to support the end goal. The enhancement to bootimg-efi makes conceptual sense. I don't see why we need a new plugin to do the rest, however. What's being done here that we don't already do today? I say this having made installer images for EFI machines using wic (in sumo, even). Thanks! -- Tom
