    Don't say some platforms don't support SB correctly.
    
    We don't have any good examples of platforms implementing Secure Boot
    incorrectly - the only existing one so far appears to be an accident, and
    a fix is in progress.  There's no user served by thinking this is a real
    problem at this time.
