My big problem at the end of the day is while we can help prevent users from killing their own boards - we still NEED to be holding these firmware vendors accountable. No matter what abstraction is presented to user space once someone has root on my system they could potentially destroy my hardware. Maybe one there is some nasty Windows Virus out there that fries boards by deleting EFI variables these stupid vendors will get their shit in order.
