The full spec is incompatible with standard practices for the EFI system 
partition, and especially incompatible with the way we handle Mac 
hardware, so adoption is unlikely. The boot fragments are more 
attractive, but don't currently let us express the full set of 
configuration that we support (there's no way to specify chainloading 
another bootloader, for instance). These seem fixable, but nobody's 
currently fixing them.
