Feature Request: Native support for systemd-boot (sdboot) in Fedora x86 LIVE image

urrent doc indicates configuration of systemd-boot (sdboot) during initial installation is only an option via the netinst image.

Attempting to configure systemd-boot, even with “inst-sdboot” kernel option from LIVE image on x86 installation via Fedora41 fails with “Systemd-boot cannot be utilized with the current type of payload. Choose an installation media that supports package installation.”

Request is for “Install to Hard Drive” option on Fedora LIVE image to support systemd-boot for boot loader vs. GRUB2.

I’m aware you can change the boot loader configuration after initial install, but would desire to not have this extra manual step be a requirement to use systemd-boot.

How best to request this be a base part of the Fedora x86 LIVE image?

System details

Fedora 41 x86 LIVE USB image

Fedora is worked on by volunteers. Features only get implemented when volunteers step up to do the work.
