Meaning, in a nutshell, that we have two different system "loading" policies (the ARM policy and the x86 policy) having fun together on the same disk? Three if you count macOS and EFI as two different systems really.

So naturally this would make disk imaging complex. Seriously, why wasn't this documented (or better documented)?

I'm quite impressed with the author's polite tone. His list of unanswered questions is mind boggling.

[edit: perhaps not "mind boggling" ... maybe just alarming is a better term]
