Well, I interpret Ron very differently... I think you are at the "it
works" state. 6 months of coding are the easy part where you don't have
to convince other entities to use your code. Let's wait until you have
made it into a shipping product and reflect then. I guess the really
tricky part comes when you ask your contractor not to license the UEFI
they usually ship (i.e. don't let your coreboot customers pay for the
other side).
