I would go further and question whether *anyone* is using SecureBootwith a Guix system, and moreover whether its feasible to do withoutnon-trivial development work.

Indeed. I would like to underline this point: GRUB is the only part ofa Guix system that cannot be easily rolled back if it breaks. If wemake changes to GRUB that causes breakage for some minority of users,those users could end up with an unbootable system, requiring the use ofa rescue disk to repair.
Therefore, we should be *very* careful about updating our GRUB package,especially for the sake of bugs that almost certainly do not affect Guixusers.
I think we should refrain from updating GRUB until there's an officialupstream stable release. Even then, I would advise making an effort totest it on Guix systems, using several different system configurations,before pushing it to 'master'.
What do you think?
