Current efibootmgr automatically creates the boot options of all disks and partitions installing EFI_SIMPLE_FILE_SYSTEM_PROTOCOL. Some of the automatically created boot options are useless if the disk and partition does not have the default file(e.g. EFI/BOOT/BOOTAA64.EFI).
This commit only creates the boot option if the disk and partition have the default file so that system can directly boot from it.
I don't directly see the user benefit.
The user can add an HTTP boot option now and the installer will automatically start. That would allow products to ship with a single boot option provisioned and run an installer on first boot
This commit is not about HTTP. It changes how boot options for block devices are created.
You are right, I misread the original reply. We should keep those as well
