--- Comment #21 from Paolo Bonzini pbonzini@redhat.com ---
It's just that I've seen reports where a user uses -bios (or an equivalent "hand-crafted" domain XML) for VMs that are meant to be persistent. The resultant confusion is not good.
But "qemu-system-x86_64 -bios /usr/share/OVMF/OVMF_CODE.fd" works (boots) anyway, so what would you gain from not distributing OVMF.fd?
