No, it is just about not writing those ISO images to physical media for
testing.  The ISO images will still be blocking deliverables.  Testing
of ISOs is easy and can be done automated.  Testing of physical media
requires time.

So again, if UEFI boot doesn't work, don't use it?  I tried UEFI boot
with an early generation, and it had multiple issues, so I stuck with
BIOS boot for a while longer.  There's nothing in Fedora that requires
UEFI boot.

Because it's a time-consuming and manual process, and resources are
limited?
