No! Removing FAT support will be a real problem for Fedora IMHO. People
will start using it less, and its not going to be easy to get
partitioning done.
Removing FAT support will have negative implications.
FAT is patented my Microsoft, and they're recently announced that
they're going to start enforcing that patent. It's not a question of how
useful FAT is, it's a question of whether or not we *have* to remove it.
