The package no longer ships /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/shim.efi which is what
people's boot entries refer to. It's shimx64.efi now. This causes
failure to boot on EFI systems.

Which component, if any, is tasked with adjusting EFI boot entries in
such a case? Anyway, it doesn't happen, so some kind of warning (at
least to -devel and -test) would seem appropriate, ideally prior to the
new package reaching the mirrors.

I suspect this has sth. to do with the changes for '32 bit UEFI Support' [1]…

Usually a new 'Fedora' boot entry is autogenerated after (maybe needed) unlocking the boot device entries in UEFI / BIOS, removing the old boot entry for Fedora and booting from the HDD, which contains the UEFI boot partition.

In sadly this impact *is not properlydocumented* in the corresponding system-wide change [2].  :/

Cheers,
