Description Florian Weimer 2013-01-07 15:06:10 UTC
Replace: "With the planned release of Windows 8, Microsoft has decided that all hardware that is marked "Windows 8 client ready" should"

With: "Microsoft requires that client devices carrying the Windows 8 logo must"

Replace: "This means that Fedora as it stands booted on such hardware will refuse to boot until the user disables secure boot in the firmware."

With: "The UEFI boot loader on Fedora installation media and on the installed system are signed with the Microsoft key, to enable booting and installation on such systems."

Remove the following paragraph, ending in "This plan has been approved by the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee as of 23-Jul-2012."

After: "any operations from userland which cause userland-defined DMA"

Insert: "disable support for hibernate/suspend-to-disk, and other features which would allow executing arbitrary code in kernel mode (even for the root user)."
