I guess that won't fly: This would open the door to boot any random junk.

Booting any random junk with the user's (informed) consent is perfectly fine. The idea is to stop booting any random junk without the user's consent.

Exactly. Something that requires explicit user consent (rather than the user just blindly hitting enter to make dialogs go away) is entirely reasonable here, and we've been working on solutions for that since Suse came up with an approach that make it workable.

Yeah, right. Check that one.
