As someone who is also interested in eventually phasing out legacy BIOS support, but think it's too early, I sense that this is a better way to deprecate - first future proof the legacy installations in such a way that at some future time you can simply upgrade the system, switch to UEFI and keep your system disk - is a much better transition for our users. *and* I have been hearing from people who are interested in doing this work. I sympathize with the change owners' position that detractors need to assume their good intentions, but I feel like the same needs to be assumed for community contributions, and we've unfortunately been talking past each other a bit in this thread.
