I know that there are way more experienced people on this list,
but on my 15 years of Linux usage, I have never seen any person
using, or a server, or a pc configured to use grub for authentication.

Who would use a bootloader for that? and why? Surely there must be 
reasons.
But it's not as scary nor a huge issue as the article says. When you
let somebody physically access a device, it's not the bootloader gonna
protect your device. imo.

That's said. On the other hand, the bug is unbelieveable, almost as fun
as the recent "goto exit" one.
