Plans for Ubuntu on new Intel Macs?

[Maximilian Gerlach]

Hi everyone,
Are there any plans on supporting the new Intel Macs out of the box?
They are EFI based so Ubuntu has to have at least another boot loader  
(elilo - elilo.sourceforge.net) on the installation CD.

It should be possible to make Ubuntu work on one of these babies, but  
it should involve some hassle right now (Copy over an existing kernel  
to the EFI partition, get, install and configure the boot loader).  
Are there any plans from the developers to embrace this (more or  
less) new platform?

If there are any efforts, I'd be happy to contribute as much as I can.

Thanks,
Maxi

PS:
As a little encouragement: Windows Vista will run (or at least  
install) on them and we don't want to look worse than Microsoft, do  
we? ;)
