A proposed change to Ubuntu might see future versions of the distribution greatly reduce the features in the GRUB boot loader, at least on systems which do not enable Secure Boot. Features which will be dropped from the signed version of GRUB could include Btrfs, XFS, and ZFS filesystem support, all image formats for backgrounds, LVM volumes, and LUKS-encrypted disks. Ubuntu developers are aware this change will make many users unhappy: "We understand these are controversial options; however we believe they'd substantial improve security, but also simply pivoting to new boot solutions in the future. The features will continue to be available without secure boot and security support. Affected systems will by default stay on 26.04 LTS, that is, the upgrade will be disabled in ubuntu-release-upgrader."
