I don't. I only care about secure boot enough to bootstrap a Free
platform. Secure Boot is generally not designed as a tool to provide
security unless you rip out all the certs and use your own
exclusively. At that point, you can do whatever you want.

Most PCs are poorly designed to handle doing this procedure, and it's
too easy to accidentally break the computer entirely by doing so. It's
just not worth it.

I treat Secure Boot purely as a compatibility interface. We need to do
just enough to get through the secure boot environment.
