* TOPIC: (2353002) biosboot required even on MBR disks, not just GPT, but can't be created (@adamwill:fedora.im, 16:11:38)
* LINK: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2353002 (@adamwill:fedora.im, 16:11:38)

* INFO: in a late substitution, lbrabec will secretarialize (@adamwill:fedora.im, 16:19:49)
* AGREED: 2353002 - AcceptedBlocker (Final) - this is accepted as a violation of "The installer must be able to create and install to any workable partition layout using any file system and/or container format combination offered in a default installer configuration". We note that resolving this does not require implementation of MBR support; this could be sufficiently addressed by not allowing the user to attempt unsupported operations on an MBR-labelled disk.

* LINK: https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/blocker-review/issue/1801 (@adamwill:fedora.im, 16:45:43)
* AGREED: 2353148 - punt (delay decision) on blocker status, AcceptedFreezeException (Final) - the vote on blocker status for this is split, but there is clear consensus for a freeze exception. As the fix for this is already lined up, we expect it will land before deciding the blocker status becomes crucial (@adamwill:fedora.im, 17:08:47)
