I haven't seen anyone arguing that Fedora should drop UEFI support and enforce BIOS-booting even on brand new hardware, so I don't even understand what you're arguing against here. Obviously buyers of new computers whose bioses support only UEFI will have to use UEFI – and hope that those UEFI implementations are capable of booting Fedora. In case you meant to argue that bios updates will remove the need for Fedora to support BIOS-booting, this example does not support that position. The computer in question is at most a few months old. Twelve- year-old computers that never had UEFI support get no more bios updates and will never get UEFI support added. Anyway, it's not clear that the computer was shipped with a working legacy boot option. The forum post doesn't say that. It says only that the legacy boot option is unavailable and that the bios has been updated. By the way, the forum post is an example of a user who is dissatisfied with UEFI for some reason, and wants to boot in BIOS mode instead. Dropping BIOS-boot support from Fedora would presumably not make that person any happier. Björn Persson
