This is the best news I’ve heard all day, thank you!

I’m totally fine with a chromebook-style unsigned boot warning.

During WWDC they said you can't use any other operating System at boot time, only through virtual Machines.

Update: here a podcast with Craig Federighi on that matter https://youtu.be/Hg9F1Qjv3iU

Why not just support a company that doesn't do this crap?

I would happily.

Who else is making 8 core, 18 hour battery life laptops that have >200ppi displays and weigh <=1290g?

The choice is now performance xor privacy.
