Keshav, please do not overload bug reports. Bug reports should be about
a single problem, not multiple problems. Please file your complaint
about FAT16 vs. FAT32 separately.
That said, I deliberately used FAT16 where possible because it seemed to
me that the minimum size of 256MB for a FAT32 partition was likely to be
somewhat inconvenient. At the time, I read the UEFI specification and
determined that it in fact did meet its requirements (I read the section
you mention, but there's another section somewhere else that I believed
to be relevant). I'm not going to dig it up as part of this bug report,
but I could look into it if you file a separate one.
** Summary changed:
- Installer should not format an existing EFI SYSTEM PARTITION and should use
FAT32 instead of FAT16 as the FS
+ Installer should not format an existing EFI System Partition
** Changed in: partman-efi (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Triaged
** Changed in: partman-efi (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided => High
