How would dnf know about that changed name in order to install the shim?
How would the OS be installed initially, since the defaults are for the
current location?  Wouldn't the install image have to have that built
in before install?  It seems to me that there would be a default
install, then adding the change to the grub default, and then moving
the /boot/efi/EFI/fedora to /boot/efi/EFI/unique_name.  I'm not sure
what would happen if an update came in for the shim package.  Would dnf
install it in the old default location or the new location?
