You mean get rid of it (from media and installations)? Because we
install it unconditionally already, even though it's a BIOS only
utility and there isn't a boot entry for it in the bootloader.
It's a bit obscure how to use it, given there's no menu entry for it.
There's also the fact it doesn't seem to work real well with modern
hardware[0][1].
