Just like 64 bit, and 802.11, UEFI is here to stay, but such standardization is the onus of partnered entities like Intel/MS, and Amd/AMI, thus still optionally restricted by OEM licensing agreements that allow OEMs to opt for proprietary firmware, and thus parsed out rather peripatetically to the Linux community. Once standardized it will be no problem, which is the proposed point of the letter "U". "Who knows?" is a fair answer. The "U" could stand for Useless just as easily, or Utterly Unnecessary as well. I have heard "Usually Extortion Feeds Intel" used as an anti-acronym.
