Is there a petition supporting this awesome new feature I can sign instead?

Used properly, this is an excellent feature that fills "the last security hole" in the chain of trust. And also:

"Red Hat developer Matthew Garrett raised concerns over the requirement for secure booting to be enabled by default and Microsoft responded by saying that there was no mandate from Microsoft that prevents secure booting from being disabled in firmware or that keys could not be updated and managed." (Wikipedia)

You'll have to enter the BIOS, I'm sorry, the EFI shell, once, in order to boot Linux on your new computer. Big deal.

Worse-case this seems easily broken, albeit the idea of jailbreaking your computer is very stupid. Most signed-code mechanisms for interesting machines are broken.

It's not like any of us have never fiddled with the bios or anything.
But seeing as I'm not rushing out to get new hardware or win8 & I can't remember the last time I booted into windows - meh, just means the end of dual-booting for me...

"We're currently experiencing technical problems."

I'm instinctively suspicious about everything that starts with "Read the truth".

Especially if it comes from FSF.

Just write your own bios.
