Hello!
There are two things to consider, both mean that I can't really ever say "yes we will do it" for a request like that.
- None of the anaconda devs are qualified enough to decide if we could accept such a change. It's a bootloader thing. What we would do is delegate to somebody working with bootloaders to see if it's technically viable. Likely that would be Peter Jones (CCed).
- Anaconda is intertwined with Fedora, so there would have to be a change process and all that. The current audience in this thread is likely the same as you'd get for the hypothetical change, anyway...
Hope that helps?
Best,
Vladimir

I'm adding some folks who made some recent Anaconda commits in CC.
For reference, the mail I'm replying to is at [1], and my earlier
proposal is at [2].
Would you be open to modifying Anaconda like this?
I think the code changes would be fairly easy, and I would be happy
to prepare a patch, but I don't want to do this if there's no chance
of it being accepted.
