I have taken much of the feedback received into account, and revised the
freedom level categories at
https://www.coreboot.org/Board_freedom_levels somewhat.  Specifically,
the "Pwned" category is now factually stated as "Vendor Controlled", and
the EC exception in the Silver category was removed, among other minor
tweaks.

These changes had the effect of demoting all Lenovo laptops to Bronze,
and promoting the ASUS C201 (Google Veyron) to Gold.  I am still not
100% sure that I like the Veyron at Gold status due to the WiFi
controller, but I will accept it for now pending introduction of
libre-friendly (firmware-free or HW enforced radio limits with libre
firmware) WiFi chipsets.

Comments welcome!
