I don't know if the original motivation still applies.  This is an
important discussion to have.

I've pinged the folks in #libreboot and #vikings on Freenode to alert
them to this discussion.  There are probably other relevant channels
I've missed.

Hopefully somebody with a wider and deeper understanding of the issue
than I have is reading this list.  Hopefully they will chime in and
provide a more authoritative answer.  If not I will keep pestering them
because I don't want to see this unresolved, but I would like to help
out however I can and learn whatever is needed to make a positive
contribution.
