I have no idea either. However, what I do have is chronic fatigue from
hearing clueless people complain and moan about having microcode in
their coreboot.

I want my time with the coreboot community to be fun. I like talking
about silly mistakes that cost me hours or days. I like being made fun
of when that happens. I like doing fun stuff. I like playing with
hardware. I do NOT like litter from useless philosophical discussions
about which blob is more acceptable than the other.

I spend a few weeks now completing the change, and in exchange, I get a
lifetime of peace on the matter. We all do. It's a win-win. The change
will be mostly transparent to the average coreboot user.

What's there not to like?

Removing microcode updates from blobs

If you don't want to hear it, ignore it. We shouldn't break things just so
people with mistaken opinions are happy, nor how long it took to rearrange
things into a broken state.
