What are we as openSUSE going to do here? Do we pony up the $99 for the key registration fee? (my vote would be yes) Do we ignore it? Has anyone thought about this yet?
I don't believe that the CA authority in question that would need to sign any of our bootloaders is trustworthy at all. I think it will prove to be a mistake to "trust" these technically weak corporations.
Additionaly, I reject the premise that this new form of restrictions is related to security. UEFI code will be permanently running on any machine that implements it and of course it will be running at level that even your OS will be have to obey. And of course it's all proprietary.
If I'm mistaken, please correct me.
