Where we are currently consuming unified kernels, this tends to happen
in EFI Boot Guard context with the related wic plugin that already
supports this. In addition, the unified kernel stub that systemd
provides showed some limitations on ARM platforms with DTB replacement
needs. That's why we are about deploy an own one (via EBG) with own
integration process.

Long story short: I don't expect an urgent need for OE's/systemd's
unified-kernel-image.
