Is this proposed dropping of grub only for 'desktop' Fedora? iiuc, server/workstation instances share the same underpinnings? For server/workstation, "access the boot menu, select a boot entry, or edit the kernel command line" are certainly NOT _uncommon_. Very often, particularly when tracking closely with upstream latest releases, they're very often _necessary_. re: sd-boot docs, grub -- for both BIOS & UEFI -- has available encyclopedic & thorough documentation. its configs are also wonderfully portable. including/across the countless other distros that (will) continue to use/support it. *dropping* grub for the next bright-n-shiny seems to make little sense. *adding* "sd-boot" (tbh, i've never come across an instance of it in use. anywhere.), and support *both* -- whether or not it's 'bloat -- doesn't make much sense either. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
