To echo what Kamil and Kevin said earlier: I'm fine with this so long
as we still have a viable fallback path option that generally works on
hardware which is broken with native drivers for whatever reason. I
don't really care how that is implemented. It doesn't even need to be
set up so that booting with `nomodeset` triggers it, really - it's easy
enough to change the bootloader configs of the installer/live images to
do something else if necessary. I just want it to be explicitly part of
the Change's scope that a replacement fallback path (for both BIOS and
UEFI, as long as we keep BIOS support around):

* Exists
* Generally works
* Is available from installer/live images in the same way as currently

If this is possible only for UEFI but not for BIOS, I'd feel much more
conflicted about the Change.

Right now it's not entirely clear whether this is considered part of
the Change scope or not. The paragraph about the `uvesafb` driver seems
kind of aspirational and doesn't seem to commit to anything. The
"Benefit to Fedora" section states "Verified modern supported paths for
cases currently handled by vesa/fbdev", but I'm not 100% clear what is
meant by that.

Thanks!
