+As for now Microsoft requires all W8 certified systems with secure
+boot to allow secure boot to be switched off by user/sysadmin. One
+reason why I do not understand the reason why all these people (Garret
+et all) are stumbling all over themselves to solve a problem which is
+not even sure to ever come by.

+IMHO Mageia is good to send out the signal that Mageia will face that
+issue when it's due time.
