While I don't think we need to re-word this part, for the record my concern is global, not specific platforms. To re-iterate something we talked about on IRC, I think it's important to be able to select and have a default UEFI implementation that covers as many common use cases as possible, while also being as small as possible. > > Provide a configuration option to make the boot manager available. > > Signed-off-by: Heinrich Schuchardt <xypron.g...@gmx.de> [snip] > +config CMD_BOOTEFI_BOOTMGR > + bool "UEFI Boot Manager" > + default y > + help > + Select this option if you want to select the UEFI binary to be booted > + via UEFI variables Boot####, BootOrder, and BootNext.

My concern is that the default set of options is growing so that every possible case has support in the binary but the hardware and practical use means we don't need all of that. This should perhaps be "default y if DISTRO_DEFAULTS" at least. -- Tom
