Being devils advocate, but should we have the memtest86 or similar by default? I have certainly not used this feature in my 10+ yeas with Fedora.
You mean get rid of it (from media and installations)? Because we install it unconditionally already, even though it's a BIOS only utility and there isn't a boot entry for it in the bootloader.
It's a bit obscure how to use it, given there's no menu entry for it.
There's also the fact it doesn't seem to work real well with modern hardware[0][1].
