The final release criterion for Fedora 23 Windows dual boot has an exemption that reads: The bootloader entry part of this criterion does not apply when Secure Boot is enabled (because it has not yet been made to work, and fixing it is not trivial). cases.

I don't know the provenance of this exemption, but this bug explains the problem and work around. The gist is that openSUSE has a patch to avoid using LoadImage so that GRUB can chainload the Windows bootloader with Secure Boot enabled, and it's been working for years. The ideal scenario is to fix the problem with LoadImage, but I think in the meantime it's better to have the work around rather than users being told to disable Secure Boot. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1170245
So I'm wondering if the WG can take this up at their next meeting and decide when this exemption should be removed.

Sure thing, though we're more likely to request the maintainers address the issue with priority, and emphasize the severity of the issue and the importance of dual-boot for our product, rather than to actually remove the blocker criterion before the issue is fixed. Really, I think the blocker criteria should be limited to regressions....
