Because it's clumsy. You aren't getting exactly what you want or expect. And you have just as much of a chance of wanting GRUB but getting the firmware. Anyway, at the moment I still see this feature as rearranging the deck chairs. It exchanges problems we know, for problems we don't know. It's one kind of clunkiness for a new kind of clunkiness with added complexity. > If you're playing Rachmaninoff on the keyboard > during the boot sequence, I think it's a pretty clear indicator > that you want to interrupt it somehow.

You're not indicating what you do want to happen: firmware setup? firmware boot manager? firmware update? GRUB menu? The idea the user getting a musical chairs result is better than booting is not something I'm going to agree with. -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/TGBECFZ5XZTJUSVBIETSS4BAZNBVVHBP/
