(a) the spec [1] is clear:- It is recommended to mount $BOOT (either XBOOTLDR or the ESP) to /boot/. If both XBOOTLDR and the ESP are present, the ESP should be mounted to /efi/.(b) kernel-install (the modern and current way to install linux kernels) suggests:- it is recommended to mount the ESP to /efi/, if possible. (see man kernel-install)
I neglected to underline that (a) and (b) are in kind of in conflict with each other.
(a) Was the standard (and remains so) - however it seems, in practice, that (b) is replacing the spec.
I also note that, since the spec uses "recommended", it is not a violation to mount ESP on /efi. I assume, at some point, the spec will update it's recommendation to follow the kernel-install recommendation.
Perhaps there is already a newer spec I am not aware of? -- Gene
