In my brief google searches:

Now given the reference to Windows...I briefly played with Azure, and booted an 
Ubuntu VM there; one thing
I noticed is that while it didn't boot via EFI, it looks like Ubuntu may 
actually
already do the "bios-and-UEFI" pattern.

I got sort of lost in Azure versus Hyper-V and gen1/gen2 - apparently Hyper-V 
likes
UEFI and supports secure boot but Azure may not or something?

I later found out that some OpenStack installations like to do this too.

So...I agree we should probably do this, particularly if Ubuntu already is 
today.
