Yes! FUCK "secure" boot! Another win for freedom.

On the other hand, never underestimate the ability of the "security" establishment to spin this as a bad thing and instill more fear and paranoia.

All these user-hostile in the name of "security" features do is take control away from and put it in the hands of some centralised entity whose interests certainly do not align completely with yours.
