I meant ESP mounted at /boot/efi (and therefore UKIs in /boot/efi/EFI/Linux).

/boot/efi is clearly not ideal for a number of reasons, but this is what
we have today and changing this opens up another can of worms.  For
starters this will stop working:

    # rpm -ql shim-x64
    /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI
    /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/fbx64.efi
    /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/BOOTX64.CSV
    [ ... ]

If we are going to change this the only option which makes sense to me
is to go for the systemd default: ESP (if present) mounted at /efi,
XBOOTLDR (if present) mounted at /boot.

take care,
  Gerd
