Any chance for regular anaconda installs doing a hybrid boot setup too?
The installed systems will look pretty much the same (gpt with both
bios-boot and efi-esp partition) no matter how they where installed,
and it'll be trivial to switch from BIOS to UEFI without reinstalling
the system.
We can fade out some stuff already (mbr support), and painless switching
to UEFI for systems which where installed in BIOS mode for whatever
reason should also help UEFI adaption.
Now that'd be awesome and likely the best way forward, if feasible.

There should be a science of discontent. People need hard times and
oppression to develop psychic muscles.
