[$] Fedora considers deprecating legacy BIOS
A proposal to "deprecate" support for BIOS-only systems for Fedora, by no longersupporting new installations on those systems, led to a predictably longdiscussion on the Fedora devel mailing list. There are, it seems, quite a fewusers who still have BIOS-based systems; many do not want tohave to switch away from Fedora simply to keep their systems up to date.But, sometime in the future, getting rid of BIOS support seems inevitable since theburden on those maintaining the tools for installing and bootingthose systems is non-trivial and likely to grow over time. To headthat off, a special interest group (SIG) may form to help keep BIOS supportalive until it really is no longer needed.
