Really sad to see such an important boards as ASUS KGPE-D16 - the most powerful coreboot server - being removed. Preferably a way of CB:36908 should be followed: if some new coreboot feature relies on something that some boards currently lack, simply disable this new feature for these boards.
This was under discussion for over a year. Bring Fam10h up to standards and it can go back in. Do it within 2019 and we won't argue about code quality of the new-old code too much ;-)
But yesterday the point was made that people had lots of time to clean this up and nobody did, and I had to agree. Giving _yet_ another extension doesn't help a lot.
There's one thing to say "this is the most powerful coreboot server" but another to demand that development stops because nobody feels like touching its code.
I wouldn't dare to call the KGPE-D16 "the most powerful coreboot server" when most of the experiences I heard about this board is that memory init fails with current coreboot, among other issues. And when I suggested git-bisect to narrow down the issues to a few commits, nobody did it.
Maybe you heard it from people who don't know how to set things up. I have two KGPE-D16 boards, both running 4.10 tag release. Both are stable. Note that people who are happy with things usually don't say so, they loudest ones are always the complainers.
You just don't go shouting to everyone when you have electricity and water at home.

I think it's time.
I agree. And I have a KFSN4-DRE.
