Ok Ron,
We all recognise your efforts and don't deny that the question of the binary blobs" is a very complex and "politicaly hot" one..
But (and I speak here from a STRICTLY personal point of view) it is the fashion you chose to lecture Paul than I found not very nice..

well then I'm very sorry, I should not write these notes when I'm still angry. The intent was to state the facts of the situation, which are difficult to say the least.

If people want to say "BLOBS are bad", that's fine. If people start saying "Google does not understand ..." that is really not fine at all, because it is claiming knowledge that people do not have; and, the fact is, it's not at all nice to tell the people who are working so hard to remedy the blob situation that they don't understand what they're doing.

I'm probably more frustrated than anyone with the BLOB mess, and that's part of why all my coreboot efforts go to RISCV nowadays.
