I believe that supporting people who are not in your "like you"
classification above is loss of time and resources. They should not be
using any electric equipment (e.g. toaster oven, refrigerator, light
bulb) to begin with. Furthermore, reading arguments against this in an
official Fedora mailing list makes me sad.
Sorry for being so harsh. I just don't have much tolerance for
accepting unintelligence.

Not sure I should even reply to such a mail but ... not being computer
literate does not imply being "unintelligent" .
Just think about that for a bit.

Due to my respect to your request, I thought about it for nearly 72
hours. I still stand behind what I said: People who are incapable of
switching a BIOS setting, which might involve doing a simple web
search beforehand, should better not touch any electric equipment.
Fellow contributors assert that such people are not in Fedora's target
base, as per the statement of the Board. Of course they are right. I
am just claiming the set of BIOS-capable people is not limited to
target Fedora user base, but extends to all electric equipment users.
Best,
Orcan
