As per the original discussion when Peter Robinson mentioned a Spin to deprecate BIOS, would anybody else be interested in helping with a Spin for legacy BIOS support?  I agree with the e-waste comments and it seems a shame to trash some perfectly viable kiosks or old IoT which gave new life to old kit.  I just got done knocking Windows 11 for deprecating support for fairly new hardware but now realize Fedora is doing something similar (though not as drastic).  Is a spin worth exploring?  Volunteers welcome.

The pull request to delete the code for BIOS support in lorax means
that we can't produce media with BIOS support at all once that's
merged. They've tied dropping syslinux to dropping BIOS support
entirely. It is also unclear that they'd take a contribution to rewire
lorax to produce media with BIOS support using GRUB like we do for
UEFI.
