We kinda need hardware that implements Secure Boot, and thus far
there isn't any publicly available consumer hardware that does.
As for Fedora UEFI support, this is a GRUB Legacy EFI to GRUB2 EFI
transition phase, with the plan being GRUB2 EFI in F18, completely
dropping GRUB Legacy. So some effort should account for the removal
of the GRUB Legacy material from existing documentation in
anticipation of F18.
Agreed. There is a lot of GRUB stuff out there that needs to be
removed/replaced/rewritten. Should that be set as a priority for F18
documents?
