I don't really mind, as long as this gets merged someday. After all, adding or removing the prompt is now a single line change :P

I think the prompt got there for stuff like Google boards: their coreboot "vendor" is Google, but the boards themselves are manufactured by someone else (Compal, Wistron, Quanta, Pegatron...) for yet another somebody else (Acer, Asus, Dell, HP...). The ability to override the vendor string probably comes from that, I guess.
