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.
