While I agree that most BIOS and/or UEFI installations are just... unacceptable, I don't think that a replacement will do just fine. The initialisation process should be as streamlined as possible, but allow as much control as possible. I would not call a multi-staged boot process "streamlined", when you argue that coreboot is the fastest way to boot up a computer. And then again, the whole process is repeated by the operating system one way or another. Anyways, I'm glad that coreboot exists regarding the UEFI fuckups in the recent past, but I don't think it's the way to go further.
Oh, and, the free in libreBoot is just cosmetics, so I shrug, whatever.
That's exactly the point. If their existence doesn't change anything, why do they exist? Extra control, transparency? But no extra functionality for/with the hardware? So, why the alternative?
