I’ll rather have slow boot and proper UEFI support so I can boot any vanilla ARM64 Linux distro (Debian proper), instead of images/distros which have been crafted to be device-specific (Raspbian).
I boot this thing once every second month at most. I honestly couldn’t care less about boot-times.
Luckily for me, there are solutions to my problem too ;)

Incidentally, I have used this for for the ESXi Fling for the Pi when benchmarking it against KVM performance (for those curious, KVM far outperformed ESXi), but I heard that it doesn't work as well for Linux distros (some hardware was broken last I heard [a few months ago]). But yeah, I agree that getting UEFI support and standardising the ARM boot procedure is very useful for all of us.
