Curious, has anyone from @redhat or @fedora though to actually communicate with any of the 'big' hosting providers, to perhaps coordinate/influence/compromise/plan?
I'd bet AWS, DigitalOcean & Linode/Akamai -- among this biggest hosting providers where 'new installs' would be happening on their VPSs -- would be quite interested in making sure that THEIR customers had smooth install/migration options for Redhat/Centos*/Fedora variants.
I know my _own_ solution to UEFI-install only if those^ providers don't support it; I'm guessing not everyone will have the same goals/approach.
Any VPS that supports Windows 11 needs to support UEFI-only already. In particular, the top 3 (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) are all UEFI-capable.
(Akamai is, to my knowledge, not a provider of VPSs.)
Akamai owns Linode, which is a prominent VPS that focuses on Linux (Linode is a contraction meaning "Linux Node").
DigitalOcean similarly is Linux centric and so Windows doesn't matter.
Most web hosting providers and VPSes are Linux-centric and so Windows doesn't matter.
