Given Hans proposal [1] introduced systemd/grub2/Gnome upstream
changes it beg the question if now would not be the time to stop
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.
Now in 2017 Intel's technical marketing engineer Brian Richardson
revealed in a presentation that the company will require UEFI Class 3
and above as in it would remove legacy BIOS support from its client
and datacenter platforms by 2020 and one might expect AMD to follow
Intel in this regard.
This will fail i.e. on M$ Surface Pro * systems.
Also, a lot of laptops are installed in Legacy Mode, as setting them up
in EFI was impossible.
