It is nice to hear there are possible alternatives ; to be honest I
don't know about their "marketshare" amoung the coreboot users. From
my point of view as a user (reading mailing lists etc.) it seemed like
the majority of coreboot users are using SeaBIOS and the majority of
libreboot users are using GRUB. Although, its' quite likely that at
the same time the majority of ChromeBook+coreboot users are really
running UEFI payload, thanks to your customized coreboot builds where
you are using it (learned about your work after a quick search)

P.S. sorry it seems I bumped an old thread and now I feel guilty
