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.
I've not used GNOME in my 18 years with Fedora (plus 5 pre-Fedora). Can we consider removing it?
Having memtest86 saved my life just a few months ago: random crashes, apparently caused by pressing in the middle of the keyboard. It was able to demonstrate _live_ that the pressure was causing bit flips. Press, errors, don't press, no more errors (including appearance/disappearance of vertical bands in the display, because of integrated chipset, VRAM=RAM). Opened the laptop, reseated two DIMMs, TESTED AGAIN, TESTED AGAIN, shaken the laptop, TESTED AGAIN, no problem anymore since then.
