I'm doing some shim work at the moment, in fact. I'm not anticipating
any problems with getting things signed, but there will be at least
some delay. That delay *does* act as somewhat of a brake on shim
maintenance, hence I've let things sit for some time.

Now that we're near the end of the bullseye cycle and toolchains have
settled, I'm comfortable to switch to gcc-10 etc.
