I want to reiterate, it's not just about cloud platforms! if we remove BIOS boot (too early), we also kick Fedora servers, installed on hardware, out of these data centers. And the reason is not that this server hardware does not support UEFI, but the management infrastructure of the data centers.
Speaking of servers... one thing I noticed is that a pure-Fedora system only uses about 8M of /boot/efi. Even my dual-boot laptop with Win10 is only using 35M. Is there a reason 256M was chosen for the default UEFI system partition size (from the standard somewhere)? I guess that's what Windows does too (since Win10 was on this laptop first).
I did notice that anaconda forces it to be at least 50M - again, is there a reason?
I really don’t know. Never thought about it before, and it hasn't even occurred to me, unfortunately. Knowing our group members, it's kind of a general best practice, and the idea of not making it too small in any way.
