systemd-boot isn't really an option. It doesn't have the features that are 
necessary for Fedora systems to actually be able to boot. It'd work on 
Workstation, maybe, if they think their users will never need to know they're 
even using a bootloader, and won't put /boot on LVM or LUKs encrypt it.

Additionally, the theoretical proposal discussed earlier in the thread was to 
add it as an alternate option, which users could ELECT to trying out, not to 
make it the default bootloader. Probably because it doesn't meet the needs of 
actually being able to boot Fedora systems.
