Feedback before making a wiki edit regarding ESP partitions

Hello,

Just looking for any feedback regarding a note in the wiki about ESP partition mount points. It appears to be either outdated or in need of clarification if using UKIs. I have successfully installed Arch Linux many times with systemd-boot using only an '/efi' directory and a UKI. Thoughts?

** {{Note|Only [[GRUB]] and [[rEFInd]] support this scheme at the moment.}}

I've tried to improve it, you're not the first person to find that part unclear in the last months.

The missing clarification was regarding systemd-boot. What are your thoughts on this variation:

"Only the GRUB and rEFInd boot loaders support this scheme at the moment. For systemd-boot, this setup is possible with a Unified kernel image (the kernel is still installed to /boot by pacstrap, but the UKI is installed to the esp partition).}}

Yeah, but systemd-boot won't work in its actual capacity as bootloader - if you have *only* UKI(s) why would you install a bootloader itfp?
Your UEFI can boot those directly.

Arch Linux
