> If there are features missing from grub, that should be addressed as a bug in grub.

This is a list of network cards that iPXE supports:
https://github.com/ipxe/ipxe/tree/master/src/drivers/net

I don't think Grub would ever accept a "bug report" to include all the iPXE drivers in order to be able to cope with e.g. the following scenario:

"My onboard NIC failed/wasn't gigabit/whatever and I replaced it.
Of course my firmware doesn't know how to netboot the new NIC, so I need iPXE."

> signing multiple competing bootloader implementations

I.e. I don't think they're competing (iPXE calls itself "firmware", not "bootloader"); they have very different focus and cover different and in many cases complementary needs.

Of course I can respect the policy not to sign anything other than grub, though.
I will document the need to disable secure boot in the installations that will require iPXE.

Thank you for all the input!
