After thinking about this a bit more, I think I see what we're actually discussing. It's obvious that if software in a VM makes changes to UEFI variables that are required to be persistent for that VM image to boot again, then the VM image is no longer portable, as per the spec.
No longer portable, and given the current state of implementation, no longer bootable, since we don't support persistent storage yet; certainly not on OpenStack? Or do we have that now?
Are we really pushing ahead with a specification that nobody can implement today? How far away are we from a fully compliant implementation?
