Strictly from the perspective of, who will provide support, I think we want to go directly to the upstreams as much as possible. When GRUB's file system modules get updates, they appear first upstream, and it'll just delay things to have to wait for Fedora's GRUB to be rebased to get those updates. And then if something isn't working right, the Red Hat bootloader folks would have to be asked about what's going on, while upstream pretty much is expected to ask if we've tried the upstream source? > My intention of packaging efifs for Fedora was to get systemd-boot handling > my ext4 XBOOTLDR (https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/17756), which > still is not working, because of the two issues mentioned there (and less > systemd-boot upstream interest as it seems).
