We currently always pick a read-only firmware unless we are explicitly asked for a read/write one, which is probably what most people expect anyway but doesn't really make sense otherwise: if no specific requirement has been provided by the user, both read-only and read/write firmwares should be allowed to match. This won't result in any change in practice, since distros are not shipping read/write builds of edk2 anyway. If they started doing that, it would be their responsibility to ensure that they are ordered after the read-only builds.
