You have my Nack.

We are doing stupid and unnecessary things, that cause us problems with
EFI.  If we stop doing those stupid and unnecessary things we won't have
problems.

So I don't see the point of adding more stupid and unnecessary work, so
we can continue to do stupid and unnecessary things and cause ourselves
problems.
