not sure how it will look in reality but I hope that one can simply disable this feature.
As I understand it, this means going into setup and disabling the feature (and perhaps confirm that you understand that it will expose your computer to all kinds of bad guys).
It is easy for me or for you. The question, however, is whether we want to require every potential user of OpenSuSE (with sufficiently new hardware) to do this - while Fedora won't.
Additionally, this "feature" (currently) cannot be disabled on ARM based devices which will run Windows 8 (eg ARM tablets which will be perfectly capable of running Linux, but will be blocked by UEFI which cannot be disabled).
