gummiboot has been merged into systemd starting with version 220, so the gummiboot package will no longer receive updates.

I think systemd should provide gummiboot and the gummiboot package can be removed.
This task depends upon

I agree with the following so I'm not going to add a provision for gummiboot; from a packaging perspective, they are different pieces of software.

< dreisner> i'm not familiar with gummiboot, but i don't think 'bootctl' is how you interacted with it
< dreisner> so, not the same thing, even if the code looks familiar.
< dreisner> also, nothing real depends on gummiboot, so the provides doesn't have much value

Edit: We do plan to remove gummiboot from the repos soon-ish though.
