Keep it. There are still systems sold that boot classic BIOS instead of |
| 17 |
UEFI, and thus might need this info. If anything, legacy stuff like this |
| 18 |
can be put into its own section below the more modern approach, with |
| 19 |
appropriate disclaimers that it is legacy. But odds are likely, it will |
| 20 |
need to be retained for quite a few more years. |
