I wanted to say what I said. Dell, HP, Supermicro, Tyan, and whatever other OEM making commercial servers I know of is highly unlikely to accept a RMA or provide any support on their hardware if you install Coreboot.
What I was trying to tell you was that they might already ship hardware with coreboot. You make the impression that you have no idea about how much coreboot is already used in products.
What you mean, I guess, is installing coreboot on hardware that didn't ship with it. But you make it sound like coreboot is always something retrofitted.

I was writing within context of this mail thread.
This mail "thread" is about Coreboot on server systems, and no major manufacturer I know of, apart from IBM and the board from Raptor Engineering ever used Coreboot on server systems, so yeah, on server boards it is nearly always retrofitted by the end user or some third party that resells it.
