But the intent and promise of BLS is distro interoperability with a shared $BOOT among multiple distros. If the additional barrier to adoption that Fedora imposes is that every distro needs to also include signed efifs ext4 in order to read $BOOT, I think it's too much. But also we need verification and clarification on this "GRUB only" proscription by Microsoft of any other bootloader, mentioned earlier in this thread: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/W6BI4G7NST6WXIMF6GPAKC6R4EE6OS2D/ -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
