> It is not a systemd bug to mount efivars read/write. The efitools - efibootmgr et al - require write access to that table. By the spec, this should not brick computers.

How often do you need to run efitools though? Should it always be mounted read/write for the one or two times in the lifetime of the system that you need to adjust the boot variables? Wouldn't it be more reasonable for efitools to suggest you might need to remount it read/write while you're changing the variables?
