I think it at least makes sense to talk about it, and work out what we can and cannot do. I guess we're in an especially bad position since everybody builds their own bootloader. Is there /any/ viable solution that allows people to continue doing this short of distributing a first-stage bootloader blob? > Minor details like, "do we have a 'company' that can pay Microsoft to > sign our bootloader?" is one aspect from the non-technical side that I've > been wondering about.
