I thought they were planning on signing all the stuff after grub2 as well?

I have no trouble having signed bootloader. but i would prefer it to be from a 
completely free CA. ie: NOT from microsoft.

above signing from microsoft, I would even prefer to have a documentation that 
requests to disable Secure Boot, then generate your own key and adding that, 
and then setting up Secure Boot again, with your own personal signed stuff.

of course, if there was an independant org that had it's CA in all hardware, 
and signed all free OSes, that would be alot better.
