And what do you expect from the Release Team?A simple question: Will the release team publish Trixie fully knowing that btrtfs hosts will no longer be bootable via UEFI?
I hope you made a joke when you said "simple", because it's very much not simple to judge if we should. But, for some context, if you look at the RC bug list currently effecting trixie you will see that there are several bugs open against grub* with numbers older than the bookworm release. You can also see that during the release cycle of bookworm I tried to draw wider attention to these bugs [1].
I don't know yet what we will do by the time we're otherwise ready and this bug isn't solved, but I can't promise now that we'll not release. I've not spend enough time on the problem, its conditions, relevancy and its implications yet to judge.
You still have time to fix the bug. It's better to use the time for that than this discussion now. The bug needs fixing anyways. This discussion becomes moot after that.
If not, what would the release team do to address the problem before the release?
Nothing, wait for the bug to be fixed. Or do you think there's something else we could do? You wouldn't want me to change code in grub.
