I believe so.

I don't actually know whether Microsoft told the OEMs MiB or MB. Will find out.

It's a tradeoff; on some devices 1GB is going to be a significant
chunk of the eMMC space used. I'll certainly bump up the maximum size
tho -- I'll continue that discussion on the anaconda PR.

Right, I don't disagree. I just think the switch to ESPs and
potentially nuking /boot is a different ChangeProposal :) As part of
that we could delete /boot and enlarge /boot/efi but that's not the
problem we're solving here. Let's do the little uncontroversial change
first so firmware updates keep working, then we can work on the bigger
changes that might be more controversial.
