   And it does.  I believe this should not matter if you have secure boot   
   disabled.  If you don't have device encryption enabled, then secure boot   
   is useless anyway.... and if you do have device encryption enabled you   
   have a roadmap to deal with this (which may mean buying a new machine   
   or setting the bios date back, etc.)
