Another important issue is that flashrom should support many, many chips and baords, as few people will be willing to buy expensive hardware just for flashing.
There's Uniflash, but that has the problem of being Pascal+DOS, currently. I tried for a few minutes to build it with GNU Pascal or FreePascal, but that didn't work easily (needs more work, maybe). Has anybody else managed to build it for Linux?
And then there's /dev/bios. It supports quite a lot of hardware and it talks to the hardware in a smarter way than most flash drivers in "flashrom". This is why I still get regular mails for the driver.
But it should be all integrated in flashrom, its architecture is a lot more sane. (And it does not need to recompile the software for every kernel update :-/)
