We could also blacklist all Apples to use MS-DOS partitions if you do a
BIOS install. It's in fact trivially easy - given where the blacklist is
in anaconda's code, it naturally applies only to BIOS installs, not EFI
installs.

So really all we'd need to do is add a single line to the Lenovo
blacklist, most probably. And if Apples can't boot GPT disks via BIOS
and Apple has no intention of fixing this, as seems to be the case, it
probably makes sense to do so.

Anaconda team, WDYT? Should I open a bug report to have the blacklist
extended?
