[systemd-devel] why does bootctl default to /boot and not to /boot/efi?

I don't know what Linux distributions' long-term plans for this 
directory are, but to me it does make sense for /boot to actually be the 
ESP.

On my Fedora systems I do actually make it the ESP, and have /boot/EFI/EFI 
be an automounted bind-mount back to /boot/EFI, to cater for tools that 
have /boot/EFI/EFI hard-coded. Works well.
