Based on the criterion https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_39_Beta_Release_Criteria#Installer_customization
If the workstation SIG have strong arguments to stop users from installing without a separate /boot partition then it must document that, or even propose it as a change.

BetaBlocker +1

BetaBlocker +1

I think the customization criterion is quite a stretch. That's about the logo and a default filesystem, etc. There's also https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_39_Final_Release_Criteria#Disk_layouts but that again talks just about options provided by the installer, not about those not provided (although we can argue it offers them in the GTK environment).

In the end I think this will mostly depend on whether anaconda folks feel that it should be there and whether workstation wg folks are OK with it possibly missing. Also I think this makes sense to consider only at Final, not Beta.

My current thoughts are:
BetaBlocker -1
BetaFE +1
FinalBlocker possibly

I agree with Kamil here.

BetaBlocker -1
BetaFE +1

Discussed during the 2023-09-04 blocker review meeting [1]:

this does not really violate any Beta criteria, though we see significant concerns with whether it's appropriate for anaconda to suddenly start enforcing a requirement for a separate /boot when it did not previously. Accepted as an FE - if we do change this, it makes sense to do so for Beta, not change it between Beta and Final.
