Gentlemen, you need to realize that the problem is not Fedora or what they do. The problem lies in those distributing Fedora, that is, the OEMs. If System77 or Dell ships a laptop with Fedora preinstalled, then they are the ones that _have_ to instruct the user on how to change the keys, should they want to.
Fedora is just trying to be nice to people that didn't chose a preinstalled system, and instead just want to test the distro in hardware blessed for Windows 8. That you can do this is GOOD.
