If the upstream edk2 is so bad - have you tried to upstream your set
of patches? It is good that your personal fork/repo is stable, but
inevitably it will always lag behind the upstream, not benefiting from
some new features and bugfixes. Same reason why I didn't want to fork
a coreboot despite having a big set of unofficial patches , instead
trying to upstream them when I have some free time.
given that CorebootPayloadPackage has been removed and replaced with UefiPayloadPackage, there's no point in doing so. If UefiPayloadPkg is functional as-is, then we can certainly switch over to it, but my understanding is that it is not. And I haven't had time to investigate/test myself.

>>> the change could be reworded better I think: instead of the stable tag for Tianocore being pulled from the upstream edk2 github repo and a series of patches applied, it's now pulled directly from my fork/repo, which is actually functional on most (x86_64) devices. A few tweaks (like customizable boot splash) were added as well.
