Yeah, I know; guess you missed the "[…] see about ten […]" above.
Whatever, that's not why I'm writing this mail.

Yeah, but back then Ubuntu wasn't on board iirc, as they afaics added
some of those patches only a few months ago. When 15.10 was released you
could still load unsigned modules even when secure boot was enabled;
that changed with a kernel update (I was told) and was different in
16.04 from the start.

IOW: one more and important player in the field with similar goals. I
guess that was one of the points I wanted to make but didn't state
clearly enough.
