Yes, this is not an ideal solution. And that is what Matt Garrett said 
from teh start. If we would not have a solution however, it would mean 
that Fedora cannot be installed *at all* on newer hardware.

While we do not like the UEFI architecture, we have a responsibility 
towards our users (and the community at large, never forget that!) that 
in this case leads us to a pragmatic solution that works for the moment, 
giving us more time to work on a better solution.

position.
