Yes, some of us are well aware of uboot and what it supports. Many of 
the coreboot developers have also been working with uboot for >10 years. 
The point of coreboot on ARM was mainly for ARM soc's featuring PCI or 
PCIe since coreboot supports PCI so well. If you look into the Qi 
bootloader http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Qi you might find some other 
reasons for working on alternatives for ARM init firmware.
