Quoting: Matthew also says that the Linux Foundation still hasn't received an officially signed copy of their boot-loader, for more on that see Linux Foundation Struggles With Microsoft UEFI Signing.


I mean, who could ever have even guessed that there might be any problems with that?

I believe it was Michele de Nostradamus. In Century 13, quatrain 13, he says:

Quoting:And it shall come to pass the 800 pound gorilla shall deny entrance to the penguin, when the grain shall be signed.

That should be easy enough to take care of, with a proper cast:

printf("The grain is %uld.n", (unsigned long) grain);

Yeah, those of us who claimed Secure Boot was about vendor lock-in were called paranoid and fear mongers, remember. It was all FUD, they said. Uh huh... RMS called it "Restricted Boot" and in this case he was right on the mark.
