Apart from a theoretical agreement cooked up by lawyers between Microsoft and RedHat, there is no guarantee that Microsoft will sign anything. Or at some point it will refuse to sign anything or provide any other arbitrary chosen reason why it will not sign the bootloader. Or it will commonly blacklist these, so dual boot will not work.
I do understand that this is the easy way, disabling secure boot is an option, setting up own key is an option. However, if that happens, the damage will be done. Is there any reason for going down that route?

What if Microsoft won't sign the bootloader?
