Ouch! Yet another epic Microsoft FAIL. Setting an expiry date (ANY expiring 
date) on this sort of signing key, which gets embedded into all sorts of 
firmware blobs, completely defies common sense. It is utterly clear that 
most firmware out there will NEVER be updated with the new key and will 
hence just refuse to boot anything as long as "Secure" Boot (Restricted 
Boot) is enabled, unless the firmware developers were smart enough to do the 
ONLY sensible thing here and completely ignore the expiry date (but I would 
not count on that).
