Given Hans proposal [1] introduced systemd/grub2/Gnome upstream

supporting booting in legacy bios mode and move to uefi only
supported boot which has been available on any common intel based
x86 platform since atleast 2005.

Even for virtualization?  Not sure if that can be done.

Good point. Certainly libvirt still defaults to legacy BIOS and I
don't think UEFI is even possible without manually editing the XML
definition for the machine.

New installs for x86-64 VM can be BIOS of UEFI for quite some years.
For both i440fx and q35 variants.

I literally did an F31 install to a new instance two days
ago and don't recall being offered any option.

Same for F32 actually - the install failed but I had got as
far as creating the machine without being asked.
