Probably it isn't a problem for some users, but I'm still having bad
experience with UEFI on x86_64 now. Out of my 3 machines I only have 1
system that works fine with UEFI. And my parents' laptop was purchased 2
years ago and the UEFI firmware does not allow to boot anything other than
Windows on UEFI mode (regardless of turning secure boot on or off) and I
have to switch to BIOS mode to make Fedora work there. So in this situation,
I think it's way too aggressive to accept the change - this will probably
drive away some potential new users with decent laptop like my parents'.
I've encountered one such laptop - turning off secure boot was not
enough, there's another option somewhere else for disabling key
verification (IIRC).
I agree that this means dropping legacy BIOS is premature, and we should
focus more on future-proofing our installations to make the transition
easier in the future.
