Ron (also Stefan Reinauer),

You're all Google employees. Coreboot primes bought by Google. You all (Patrick, I am targeting you as well) earn lot of bucks... Don't you all?

And you all have an influence. Don't deny this!

And... Sergey Brin makes lot of monies. Quite. And... I know Russian mentality. I do. As Russian language. Russian teachers (from Detain camps in Sebirea teached me).  Do NOT sell to me (at least) these reasons. Do not sell me this sh@@t!

Either: Google will support Coreboot, either, Google will let you all to beg... And here, you (Google employees) you are asking?! For what???

Thank you,
Zoran Stojsavljevic (independent/not to be blackmailed by anybody) contributor!

Speaking from a former buyer of hardware, I can tell you from long experience, it is *really* hard to specify coreboot as a mandatory requirement. I've got stories going back 17 years now.

Even when it makes sense, it's hard. 

I don't think we should count on the gov't to do the right thing.
