And we can take incremental steps to get there, even now:
1. Switch Anaconda to default to GPT even on BIOS setups
2. Drop syslinux and use GRUB everywhere
3. Configure new installations to always do hybrid boot installations
4. Develop documentation and/or tooling to do MBR->GPT conversions and
reconfigure for hybrid boot for existing systems
These are all reasonably achievable things we can do. And that gives
us time to work our relationships with our stakeholders to prepare
them for the day legacy BIOS support is gone from the entire Red Hat
family of distributions. It also gives room for improving the UEFI
experience so it's *at least* as good as the BIOS one, if not better.
Right now, it's not. And it needs to be in order to maintain the
momentum we have now where Fedora Linux adoption is growing by leaps
and bounds over the last couple of years.
This is a very concrete actionable and achievable proposal. /me likes.
