I've just started working with Fedora 32 ~ a week ago.  Looking at it as a 
migration option, for imo a lot of _good_ reasons, from current deployed 
OS/distro for lots of boxes.

one end-user data point for consideration:

currently, out of ~1K linux boxes in my ecosystem -- a mix of desktop, 
developer, int & ext production & devel servers -- ~40% are still BIOS only, 
with no EFI support; others have EFI support in BIOS, but are currently 
installed in legacy mode.

all are running distro up-to-date kernels, with a majority running 
Kernel:Stable.  desktop ENVs are up to date with latest KDE, GNOME & XFCE.

those 'legacy' boxes are perfectly serviceable/functional, and will remain in 
service, regularly maintained, for possibly years to come.

mv'ing Fedora to EFI-only anytime soon takes it out of consideration, here 
anyway.

perhaps I'm missing the details, or point, of this.
