It sounds good. My question is whether you or anyone else is willing to
completely fork this software. Listen to what's said at
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Gummiboot :

==============================================
"Note: Gummiboot has been merged into systemd as systemd-boot, which is
available as of systemd 220-2."
==============================================

To be dependable, this source code needs to be preserved, under a
different name, and maintained completely separately from the thing
called "Gummiboot". Just like vdev is completely different from udev.
To do otherwise would be to construct a rat-trap, with systemd, and to
a lesser extent Debian, having the complete ability to spring the trap,
at their leisure.
