As usual when someone mentions &quot;UEFI&quot; and &quot;sane&quot; in the same sentence, I post this quote from Matthew Garret [1] (of Linux EFI maintainer fame):<p>&quot;&quot;&quot;
UEFI stands for &quot;Unified Extensible Firmware Interface&quot;, where &quot;Firmware&quot;
is an ancient African word meaning &quot;Why do something right when you can
do it so wrong that children will weep and brave adults will cower before
you&quot;, and &quot;UEI&quot; is Celtic for &quot;We missed DOS so we burned it into your
ROMs&quot;.
