Subject: Re: [GIT PULL] Load keys from signed PE binaries

My two cents on this subject btw is that anything to do with
Microsoft's intentions or plans is an issue of policy that belongs
entirely in userspace.

"mechanism, not policy"

Besides, what do modules have to do with this if we're talking about
UEFI?  Doesn't the kernel have to be loaded before modules are even an
issue?

Pardon me for being lost, just tyring to follow this.
