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