I cannot judge on this, because it depends on, how much Petitboot is used on that arch. If it's only some few percent, you would force much other people to a ext2 /boot without a reason. And the same for arm64, if we roll back to ext2 there too. I had hoped that the OP would give some statistics about this... Holger -- Sent from /e/ OS on Fairphone3
