The problem with the patch is that it breaks backwards compatibility: “...once the fixes have been enabled, your PC will no longer be able to boot from older bootable media that doesn’t include the fixes.”
Well, we have it already with Leap shim patches ... as long as it only blacklists Microsoft own bootloaders, it should not affect Linux users.
Yes, the only thing we will do is shipping blacklists for it.
Oops. That is quite different. It means that on dual boot system with Windows and Leap patch for Leap will suddenly blacklist Windows and make it unbootable? This needs quite loud announcement, we already had bad experience with Leap vs. Tumbleweed or Leap patched vs. Leap GA.
