Yes. So I (and maybe the original author, too) am maintaining patch here for
anyone others who needs this functionality with best-effort basis until
loader.efi gets equivalent (or even better) boot partition seceltion
functionality.

There's no assurance fot updating patches here, as it's not in-tree and updates
are provided just a best-effort basis.

For me, maintained src are latest stable branch (currently stable/14) and main
only and no more considerations for older branches possible.

I update my version of the patch (if possible, Naomich's one, too) only when...
  *build of boot1.efi somehow failes, or
  *even worse, `git stash && git pull --ff-only && git stash apply` failed
   on /usr/src/stand/*.

Once loader.efi comes to get functionality to boot FreeBSD on any partition on
any drive and treat the actual boot partition/drive as primary (use loader.conf
etc. there), I'll stop maintaining my patch here. But it doesn't yet happened.

I had no objection for DEPRECATING boot1.efi, and actually deprecated, but
unless loader.efi get the functionality, I strongly object for DELETION of
boot1.efi sources.
