I ask if that is wise! Of course, Fedora is free to discontinue support for bios boot, and may we have to because of lack of manpower. Users will then move away from Fedora to somewhere else, Suse or Debian. And certainly no new users will switch to Fedora because we no longer support BIOS boot and it's so cool.
