Given there is consensus that legacy BIOS is on its way out
I don't think this statement is true, unless Fedora doesn't want to be
considered for a bunch of popular VM hosts (e.g. Linode and such) that
have no stated plans to support UEFI.
Maybe "legacy BIOS on physical hardware" is on its way out
It's not an maybe, it is on it's way out either physically or simply via
firmware update [1]
"In the bios, upgraded to 810 the option to enable legacy boot is greyed
out"
So how do people propose the situation to be handled when firmware from
vendors, disables the legacy boot option via firmware update.
Is Fedora supposed to block/blacklist those firmware updates via some
plugin in lvfs based on user feedback when their legacy boot mode
suddenly stops working or is it expected that upstream lvfs team looks
into this or what?
