So now the target has moved from Red Hat buying some hardware with
secure boot disabled to Red Hat hiring a design team (at signficant
cost) and developing their own motherboard.
Technically, half of the work is already done thanks to coreboot :
http://www.coreboot.org/Payloads#Tiano_Core
But since reflashing is
1) risky
and
2) either expensive ( need specific hardware )
or
2) still need to sign the system to reflash
( as explained on
http://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/12745.html )
that's not a solution to the problem "we want to have Fedora working on
hardware that will be soon on the market".
But people who think that's a good idea could start a kickstarter
campaign, and get funds to produce the so-called motherboards.
( and if you do not get enough support at the first step, i doubt the
others steps would have been successful ).
Or alternatively, just convince everybody to buy from a supplier who
committed to not ship secureboot enabled
