Well, I was anxiously awaiting the 220 release of systemd to give the
new bootctl a try which is nothing more than "gummiboot" integrated
into systemd:

oot

So yes, gummiboot works fine so I'd expect it to work the same way
within systemd. (I'd expect gummiboot to not get any updates anymore
BTW due to this.)

But please take into consideration that gummiboot will most likely not
receive any fixes anymore now that it's part of systemd.
