Standardizing on the short names is easy. Converting to them is even easier, via spatch. I'll +2 such patches :-)
We can make the cut in less time than it takes to discuss it :-)
I'm not that concerned either way, except that, historically, coreboot has gone with the short names.

I'd like to register my vote of disapproval of a move to stdint.
u8/u16/u32 are a perfectly fine set of types and the Linux kernel uses them a lot. We owe our usage of these short type names to our Linux kernel heritage. Besides that, they are very convenient to type und read due to their short names. I stopped counting how often I typed u_int32t instead of uint32_t. We're not userspace, so we have to provide our own stdint.h anyway.
Let's just standardize on the short type names.
