If you cannot see that secureboot is heading to some heavy Digital Restrictions Management... The solution is to stop accepting a proprietary bios and invest more money into the coreboot project or somethign similar so it supports more recent boards. Then stay away from this EFI junk. If you give in now in 5 years time any software you get will have to first be agreed and signed by Microsoft, literally software will only be able to be installed from the microsoft store. Even if I was a Windows users I would not want this anywhere near my platform. Originally we had TPM and that was agreed that it would NEVER EVER ship enabled, and the customer would be responsible for taking ownership and enabling.
It's time to take back control from the hardware manufacturers, you should boycot anything with EFI or secure boot. The best solution for redhat is to start selling redhat certified hardware and forget about installing on secure boot platforms - how many manufactures claim that installing linux voids your warrenty anyway. Spend the time complaining to whatever trade regulator there is about anti-competative behaviour. We NEED to go back to the 90's and fight this war over again, and this time microsoft needs to die and stay dead.
