I agree.
And there is indeed some action in the uefi field - typically it seems to imply some rethinking of a few Linux practices and tools.
But I for one am just happy to wait until things are more settled.
Until then, I rather ignore the issue and concentrate on other things, pure 64 bit Knoppix-like version is now most important to me.
I must be able to run 64 bit VMs reasonably fast.
