If it is known that a particular payload option requires a minimum
ROM image size then coreboot configuration must ensure that an
invalid configuration is not possible.

That is not rocket science. Neither is implementing it. And it is
critical for coreboot not to look like a ridiculous toy.

It's like with correct whitespace in source code; a fundamental thing
to always get right, to maintain some kind of credibility for the code
and not waste time of those who might pass by and have an interest.

Why should we make code any worse than it can be?
