Clouds and VPSes

UEFI is just one step short from becoming mandatory requirements in government contracts and usually if for example the U.S government says jumps, the vendors jump and businesses better be in shape when that call to jump comes.

Anyways still not seeing why *we* ( and by we I mean the entire (f)oss ecosystem ) should care I mean it's companies own responsibility to keep themselves relevant and competitive on the market, we do not exist to do that for them.

This is the direction the industry is taking ( and has been for quite a while, as you yourself are very much aware of ), so it's not like there are any other choice other than to put in work to mitigate any downsides it brings.

People might not like it and businesses might choose to stick their head in the sand and ignore it but it is what it is.
