The Extensible Firmware Interface - an introduction

I think we can agree to disagree on that one:
- for me, if it is possible to do in hardware, Linux should try to support it in software (because we do not know what will be the future).
- for you, if the number of people doing strange things is statistically insufficient, there is no point in trying to support it (because anyway we will have new PC including the evolution if it is good enough).

I would agree with you saying the world would be a simpler place if we did not have all those "strange" configurations to support, if the users would use their computer and OS for what it was designed for.
