Also, the security lock-down for the kernel command line means: - no network root filesystem - no boot-time-only kernel/module configuration The idea of switching from grub2 to sd-boot would also drop network boot and BIOS support. Supporting boot loaders seems to be a bit of a issue sometimes, so trying to support multiple boot loaders seems like a bad idea to me. -- Chris Adams <li...@cmadams.net> _______________________________________________ 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 Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
