Patch

When using the systemd-boot bootloader in a Kickstart file, you cannot supply a bootloader timeout of zero. The wic component changes it to 5. 

This is because of the line

loader_conf += "timeout %d\n" % (bootloader.timeout or 5)

in bootimg_efi.py.

The attached patch fixes the issue. The issue is still present in the most recent commit (dfec4f2318).

It was possible to set the timeout to zero when using the Scarthgap release of Yocto.
