Nobody is asking Fedora to provide support for fixing old hardware if it 
breaks. All we are asking for is for Fedora to continue running on old 
hardware that is *not* broken.


Yes I got that it's the hw version of "if it builds let's ship it, even if upstream is dead" approach.

The thing is we could elimination so much of technical debt in Fedora if we would drop the legacy bios support and could move the distro quite a bit forward in coming releases if we did but from the looks of it, it seems to have been already decided to "form a sig" and drop this proposal so meh Fedora 40 then...
