Hi Nico, One thing that's unclear to me is if there are lingering technical reasons for holding the patch back, aside from a Kconfig variable that Michael recently requested. Werner asked that question as well but the answer(s), if any, seem to have been lost in the philosophical aspects.
If the patch still needs work then the author should continue to work on it, but please keep the technical and non-technical arguments separate.
Sadly, I don't think Sheng will be able to solve the blob situation on Intel platforms in this patch.
Other responses are in-line:
So please, coreboot leadership, take part in the project
You saw Werner's comments in the patch, right? I think you did since you replied to them...
At least when you decide something, just send an email. :)
