Quoting:
"with uefi you can no longer have everything needed for boot on a RAID"

AFAIK, that was never possible with legacy BIOS boot either. The MBR 
and GRUB core image were outside RAID
yeah, we all know that you need "grub-install /dev/sdx" on each 
device - that's common knowledge and stuff outside the RAID partitions

and it's not something which got changed at kernel-updates and so 
irrelevant
Then what is your point?
what was your point when we all know that the MBR wanst't part of the 
RAID and frankly wasn't stored inside a partition at all
My point was that UEFI did not change the fact that "you cannot have 
everything needed for boot on a RAID", so nothing new here.
my point in that bugreport is that i don't want to manually call 
"backup-efi.sh" after kernel updates which are happening often on Fedora

kernel-install.sh is responsible for create the initrd and so on - when 
i can tell that "call /scripts/backup-efi.sh" after you are done my ESP 
partitions on both drives are always in sync
What is written in the EFI partition on kernel update in Fedora ? In 
Debian, the EFI partition is written only on grub package update or when 
running grub-install.
and no the 1:1000000 chance that a crash happens between isn't relevant 
because the whole kenel-install/initrd dance isn't atomic at it's own
Not my point. My point is that if secondary EFI partitions are updated 
only during the boot sequence then they will be out of sync at the next 
boot following an update of the primary EFI partition.
