"Redundant" such as if the user installs a new Linux distribution on the same system without manually cleaning the ESP? This type of system behaviour has been seen multiple times to break installations in the real world. Note: my main objections here are really with regards to: 1) the expectation that variable store is erased on fw update 2) automatically rewriting boot variables If (1) was resolved, then I could potentially see a use for a last-ditch fallback option (but even then, I don't think it should be enabled by default).
