[fedora-arm] Re: fedora with MS signed Secure Boot

Okay, then that answers the "will MS do it" part. That's good to know.
Then it's a matter of Fedora having time and resources to go through
setting it all up and submitting shim (which is still a big hurdle).

Most (all? not sure) Fedora AArch64 supported hardware uses u-boot,
which might be impractical to use with Secure Boot; I'd guess each image
would have to be signed, and I don't know if there's even board firmware
that implements a Secure Boot loader anyway (so it'd be mostly useless
for those platforms).
