I don't know about how important EFI and reducing the bootloader technical debt is for the project, but at least for me personally, it will be a straight way out. My hard disk has a traditional MBR based structure with about a TB of very important data. I don't know of a 100% reliable way of converting it to GPT. While I do have backup for most important files, not everything is backed up nor do I have means to do so.
The system works perfectly fine for me and I see no reason why I should opt for EFI. What is the value add for me, at least till I don't upgrade to a newer system? which I won't be at least for next 2 years. So forcing such a no-value-add change to existing user will drive them away. At least I would opt for a different distro in such case even though it's not something I want to do. I feel the better approach would be to use it as default for new installations, if the disks are appropriately formatted or are empty at the time of installation. Else a fall back to grub should be transparently done. Just my 2 cents from a user's perspective. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
