So, to summarize, this saves <= 6 MB of disk space, and <= 1 second of boot time, at the cost of extra maintenance and QA burden in anaconda and grubby? I'd love to hear what anaconda developers and Fedora QA think about this trade-off. Is there perhaps a consensus what the long-term future will look like? In particular, is it impossible/plausible/probable that most architectures will move to EFI, and if so, will virtualization also move to EFI eventually? That would mean syslinux is not a long-term option. Or is the future in this area uncertain enough that there is a benefit in having more options readily available?
