sys-firmware/edk2 now has the UEFI shell and Secure Boot, although the shell is disabled in the firmware's Secure Boot build as per security recommendations.

I'm going to close this now. I don't think we really want a live ebuild. The releases are fairly frequent and, in this case, a live ebuild would make it even more complex than it already is.
