current Linux kernel has these features *already* in place: 1. CONFIG_EFI_STUB 2. CONFIG_CMDLINE 3. CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE 4. Secure boot with MOK keys and .machine keyring to manage them. Given that every single feature in IKU does exists in some form in the Linux kernel, I think it is fair to ask why scrape away this all existing science and reinvent the wheel? If your reponse is "systemd", it is a tautological answerk, i.e. same as sayig that "it is good because it is good". Not very motivating.
