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).
It is likely because UEFI specifies FAT32 on harddrives, and the minimum
size for FAT32 is 256MB.
