[LinuxBIOS] OFW vs LinuxBIOS or C vs Forth?

[Bari Ari]

C vs Forth.

Does anyone know if this was the main reason for the switch from 
LinuxBIOS to OFW? What were the other issues involved and why did OFW 
seem to be a better fit for OLPC? Were there any other politics involved 
(logic vs feelings, corporate, personal agendas or governmental 
influences, etc.)?
