Ah, the dreamers.
I have not seen anything redeemable about EFI yet.
And you can't boot anything old with it.
Of a long list of things EFI gets wrong, probably the most
telling is even Intel cannot write a correct driver.
Much to much of EFI comes out of the backwards compatibility
is bad mentality of IA64.
Replacing that something that works with else I expect
to be a hard sell.
