Bug description:
  shim 0.7 has an unfortunate bug where when booting with SecureBoot
  disabled (i.e., in setup mode), it will print the message "Booting in
  insecure mode" and pause for two seconds before booting.

  This has been corrected upstream in commit
  d95b24bd02cf41cca9adebd95f10609d6424d2b3, which postdates 0.7.  We
  will include this fix in the next upload of shim (dependent on a
  Microsoft round-trip for signing).
