Fedora Considers Reducing The Scope That BIOS Systems Can Hold Up A Release

@phoronix not sure I like that direction, there are plenty of cases or modern systems that only support EFI, e.g. install Linux on a MacPro T2 with Intel chip. Runs only with EFI boot (Ubuntu installed in my case)

@goatwildernesscollective @phoronix Hum, only "recent", my old laptop (almost 13year old) have UEFI, so dont think it a big big deal. But if it dont support non uefi, can cause some problem, like not being able to install fedora on a machine, if the key of fedora isn't recognize (happend me each time, so i can worry about that, at least if I don't use ventoy)
