Fedora is a distribution that aims to be first so I believe there should be work done so that spins or editions that wish to be able to drop support for BIOS installs while other parts of the distribution retaining compatibility for legacy platforms be enable to do so and I don't feel that that discussion has been had, a lot of the discussion was focused on single people "this is my use case" not the wider use cases of the distribution or what SIGs are interested in. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
