It will just take one person complaining that efibootmgr no longer shows them what it used to show to bring down the wrath of Linus on our (specifically Joe's) head for breaking user space. I've got someone about to start looking at making efivarfs read and save the values during mount, so all the read-only options can continue to work without making EFI calls. This will cost some memory (say 20-30 variables at up to 1K each). -Tony ��.n��������+%������w��{.n�����{����*jg��������ݢj����G�������j:+v���w�m������w�������h�����٥
