Since normal and failover aren't supported with CBFS, can they disappear too?
No, we should get that back to life with CBFS asap.. it's one of coreboot's key features..
What's the use case for normal/failover? I always envisioned it as a software implementation of a "bios savior". If so, building in a serialice shell might be a simpler solution.
SerialICE is more or less a development tool.. it won't help you with misflashed units in the field.
Safe updates and safe recovery is the key.
Details are quite open though, the fallback image could carry some kind of shell, while the "real one" goes SeaBIOS; depending on how people want to boot, and how they want to recover.
