Well, I don't really think we have a reason to believe that a 1G ESP
was any more problematic than a 0.1G ESP. I am not aware of any
reports, and given that FAT32 is mandated by UEFI since basically
always, I think there's no immediate reason to believe we are in
trouble.

I think the only reasonable approach here is to pick a larger default
in a development distro, and collect feedback.

I'd kill the rescue concept as a separate kernel. Pre-compiled UKIs
provided by Fedora should be comprehensive and suitable enough to be
rescue images, I don't see why we need a second version of that. The
only difference between a rescue boot and a regular boot should be one
of parameterization, not of picking different kernel.
