Comment # 5 on bug 1084717 from Jan Engelhardt

>when they want to install Ubuntu or Windows alongside the openSUSE system

That does not answer the question - are we expecting Ubuntu or Windows to put
molasses of data into the ESP? openSUSE certainly does not at present.


>Advanced Format 4K Native drives (4-KiB-per-sector) drives, the size must be at least 256 MiB because that's the minimum partition size of FAT32 drives

So one could choose FAT16.


>Really, 15 years ago in Europe it was already almost impossible to buy a disk smaller than 10GiB.

I am not arguing about the size choice of 256M, but I wish, in general, that
everyone could get over the narrow-sightedness that everybody has, or has to
have, high-density slow-access spinning hard disks. Flash was and is still one
power-10 order of magnitude smaller, then (40 GB vs 4 GB CF card) and now (10
TB rust vs 1 TB SSDs).

And that Optane looks like some more power-2 orders down in terms of size...
