If /boot is not a XBOOTLDR, then we only have one file system which is the ESP. It could be mounted on /boot or on /efi or maybe even /boot/efi (*). The kernels would then go to /boot/EFI/Linux, /efi/EFI/Linux, or /boot/efi/EFI/Linux, respectively. (When you write /boot/efi, it's not clear what exactly you mean. The duplication of "efi" and "EFI" on on case-insensitive system is confusing.) (*) This is actually something that'd need to be figure out. /boot/efi is the worst choice; either /boot or /efi would be OK, but something needs to be chosen. > > 2. having a second partition with a second (different) file system > > implementation just increases the footprint and attack surface for > > no gain.
