Why cant we do all at the same time? There are different people and interest groups who work on these issues. The goal is to have a secure and open hard and software stack, all the way from the CPU to the top. There is clearly interest in a more standardized fully open ISA and that why it exists. There now other interest groups who want to build hardware for it, and others who want to build stuff on top of it. The people who work on open source firmware all suffer from the close source parts and all the unknowns of the software, and even worse they suffer from the multitude of hardware. Getting some consistency into this space with bottom up open standards can only be good.
