Short term approaches:

- Documentation: GRUB's Windows boot option may not work, how to use efibootmgr --bootnext and --bootorder

Currently there is this (insufficient, of course):
https://ask.fedoraproject.org/t/windows-with-encrypted-disks-bitlocker-cant-be-booted-from-the-grub-boot-menu/20612

I'd like to see some proper guide available in Fedora Docs/Quick Docs/wiki that I could reference from that Common Issue entry.
 
In the near term, we're looking at an awareness and documentation effort, while seeing how the other options shake out. And it probably doesn't significantly matter whether we change the release criterion now or also wait a bit longer.

We can change the criterion shortly before Final, if needed. Since we expect the situation to improve in the future, we could just add a (temporary) footnote to the existing criterion saying that the special case of Windows partitions encrypted by Bitlocker are exempt from the requirement (of booting Windows from GRUB).
