It would be great that the installer, Anaconda, enables sd-boot for

and Grub decades ago and it was very surprising very few thought of that
process especially for a distribution aiming to use latest technology.
The question is for contributors running on legacy BIOS if they are
willing to maintain it while the installer can focus to effectively use
sd-boot.
systemd-boot isn't really an option. It doesn't have the features that are
necessary for Fedora systems to actually be able to boot. It'd work on
Workstation, maybe, if they think their users will never need to know they're
even using a bootloader, and won't put /boot on LVM or LUKs encrypt it.
Additionally, the theoretical proposal discussed earlier in the thread was to
add it as an alternate option, which users could ELECT to trying out, not to
make it the default bootloader. Probably because it doesn't meet the needs of
actually being able to boot Fedora systems.
