I have work planned in the near future to teach FreeBSD that EFI/BOOT may _not_ be FreeBSD and to play nice with other bootloaders, whether that be reFIND, GRUB, Windows etc. But yes, the big difference with this is there's much more code in loader.efi than we currently put in the bootblocks with boot0cfg or "gpart bootcode" and we might run into problems if we don't at least warn users that they'll need to update it. -- Rebecca
