So it's really the whole claim that distributions have been running
for this for the last five years that I wonder about, and how often
people end up being told: "just disable secure boot":.

Very rarely in my experience.

Good. Do you have a handle on the reasons?

Because I'm assuming it's not /dev/{mem,kmem,port}? Because I'd really
be happier if we just say "those are legacy, don't enable them at all
for modern distros".

That way they'd _stay_ disabled even if somebody cannot handle the
other limitations, like DMA etc.
