Does the above only apply to UEFI booting, or also to booting from BIOS/MBR? If the latter, I'd be OK with the change as long as it's adequately publicized ahead of time (e.g., a src/UPDATING entry & -- ideally -- a "heads-up" in current@). If the former, I'm less opinionated: none of my personal machines boot UEFI. I'd tend to assume that changing to UEFI will involve some (other) changes to how I do things anyway. (My build machine uses /boot.config to default to "verbose" booting, dual-console.) Peace, david -- David H.
