OK so you prefer the outcome where a significant majority (who wants to throw out some numbers on logo/certified hardware by percentage of the market 9 months from now?) cannot dual boot Windows 8 and Fedora unless: a.) The user does a square dance with a pig and a pony under a full moon (i.e. contortions, on their own, following possibly decent documentation on how to set up their own Secure Booting system; or b.) Disabling Secure Boot entirely for both operating systems. That outcome is inherently user hostile on both counts.
