Hard feature freeze was two days ago, so I would have thought
the new secure boot feature should wait until 10.0 cycle ?

Their commits say they depend on new OVMF features and we've
not updated the OVMF binaries in this cycle, so do we even
have the OVMF feature needed for this to work[1] ?

With regards,
Daniel

[1] admittedly not an issue for distros packaging ovmf separately
