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.
