Noone asked me, but if you are curious what my take on the recent sbat/SecureBoot kerfuffle is, I'll let you know anyway:
Frankly, I find SecureBoot ultimately pretty uninteresting tech. It casts a very wide net: it basically is a politically charged global allowlist, yet is useful as a very very lose denylist only, because it necessarily contains so so so much stuff. I think the value for security is relatively limited, because it it attempts to be universal, and hence can never be focussed.
