Mathieu just pushed the bootloader patch series in =E2=80=98master=E2=80=99. However, for the release, I thought it=E2=80=99d be more reasonable to not = rush that patch series, which is why the new =E2=80=98version-0.13.0=E2=80=99 br= anch does not have it. So now the question is, how can we merge your UEFI work? How much work is it to have it on =E2=80=98version-0.13.0=E2=80=99 without merging all th= e of the bootloader patch series? It would be awesome if we could quickly find a way to address this, so we can indeed release tomorrow or later this week. TIA, Ludo=E2=80=99.
