The worst that can happen is they will not load when needed.
Moving the uImage includes the complete initramfs (with the modules needed to run it).
So you can expect early user space to run as intended.
It would only be after the 'switch root' step of the start-up process where things might go sideways.
But early user space includes the "Recovery Menu".
So if it can be arranged to make the system stop at that point, prior to doing the switch to the real rootfs ...

Wouldn't that test pass if the OTA updater that is part of the early user space contained our key?
To date, we have never tried adding our key to the keys included with early user space (for what is considered a good reason).
PM me if you want to know how to do it.
That because of our prohibition on giving Lab126 any more lessons.
