Because it doesn't support traditional BIOS boot, or the boot systems of POWER, Z-series and numerous other corner cases. Just look at the thread about BIOS support from a few months ago to see how controversial even considering that was. If we then move to it just for UEFI based platforms there needs to be a lot of logic to deal with different boot paths. _______________________________________________ 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
