This, I believe, is Matthew's way of saying that this is not all set in
stone, and that we'd encourage you to come up with better ideas because we
don't like this all that much.
But why are you making this decision in the first place?
This:
1. is a technical decision which affects the entirety of Fedora, and thus
MUST go through a FESCo vote to be implemented, AND
2. affects the core values of Fedora, and thus MUST go through a Board vote
to be implemented.
It is not acceptable that the kernel and GRUB maintainers are trying to
sneak this in through the backdoor with no mandate whatsoever from our
governance structure.
