Whats with the doom laden tone of the article? I could have written "hackers figure out how to open the management engine, no longer need you be a serf on your own CPU" and it would be just as accurate.

The constructive concern is whether this might enable coreboot/libreboot on newer generation processors, and if not then whether it's ergonomic enough to at least enable widespread neutering of AMD's built-in trojans. (PS if you're worried about the illegibility of your computer's storage devices and your resulting inability to completely wipe it and reinstall, then that sounds like a problem with your motherboard!)
