That's an unfair characterisation of the problem. There are certainly plenty
of people testing out Fedora on Macs. I'm guessing most of those folks have
a single machine that they use Fedora on. You're asking them to do continuous
testing of the installer, which the installer team is much more likely to be
able to do.

There's regular hardware giveaways within Red Hat, when departments that do
use Macs give them away when they do their hardware refresh. So it would be
possible to test this out at the root.

I installed Fedora 25 on the MacBook Pro that was given to me, but I upgraded
it via gnome-software.
