Thank you. I agree with that vision.
Please note that you might have misunderstood the article though. Specifically you seem to have missed these two passages:
> Modern Intel and AMD processors unfortunately still require some closed-source (and encrypted!) firmware in order to boot. This insanity is unfortunately very much a part of the technological foundations on which we rely daily.
> Today marks the day when (mostly) open-source firmware for off-the-shelf modern servers becomes an option.
- justinjlynn 7y agoI did miss that, and I'm sorry. You weren't positing the system as "fully" open source at all, so I certainly apologise for not making that clear in my writing. Quite the opposite, I misunderstood and/or did not read your writing closely enough nor pay enough attention to it - and so I mischaracterised your post. My bad. Thank you for your transparency and forthrightness - and hard work in your involvement in porting coreboot to the new platform. The world needs more people like you. In the future, I'll read more carefully - take some time to digest what I've read - and write in a tone which conveys a bit more charity than I have done.
