Yeah, but back then Ubuntu wasn't on board iirc, as they afaics added
some of those patches only a few months ago. When 15.10 was released you
could still load unsigned modules even when secure boot was enabled;
that changed with a kernel update (I was told) and was different in
16.04 from the start.
IOW: one more and important player in the field with similar goals. I
guess that was one of the points I wanted to make but didn't state
clearly enough.
Unfortunately, I don't recall Ubuntu developers being part of the upstream
opposition that blocked this after agreement.

In theory, it should be, but we have seen that this isn't the case.
