No, EFI is not the root cause either. The root cause is carelessly storing stuff in the bootloader area as if it was part of the standard Linux filesystem. Guess what ? It is not.

LSB is dead

LSB has nothing to do with this.

"BootLoaderSpec" is supposed to fix all the mess around UEFI and bootloaders

You are not seriously believing this, are you ?

quick rsync in the initramfs or boot sequence to sync EFIs, then that's probably the best place.

yeah, initramfs is fine because that's generated due kernel-install

Aren't you confusing the initramfs execution and generation ?

initramfs execution is completly irrelevant for the topic

Why they did you agree that it was a fine place to sync EFI partitions ?

ok, my mistake: initramfs generation is fine because at that point everything is already there, the initrd is located on the EFI and when that's finished is the point to sync a backup-ESP

But that's not enough, because other parts of the system may write to the EFI partition, so it does not completely solve the issue

the issue "my primary drive died and i need to boot from the second drive" is solved - period

nobody gives a shit about runtime stuff probably written to the ESP when a drive dies

I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about other boot loader updates that may happen independently of kernel updates.
