Agreed. But when someone asks If we support Intel hardware, telling them "no we don't go away" so to speak, do you expect a positive reaction?
No,
If someone said that to me I wouldn't even bother and just look for
another
bios solution and maybe even have a few comments about the group that didn't even bother, or offer help.
How about the following statement: "We are supporting quite a few Intel CPUs and chipsets, but datasheets for newer Intel chipsets are very difficult to get. If you have a good business case, you can always try to convince Intel to release the datasheets for the chipset you are using. The coreboot team would be delighted to see that happen. Once we have the docs, we can help you port coreboot to these chipsets."
I like it, you hit the nail right on the head Carl-Daniel :-)
