I’m not excited about oreboot. Fork is not engineering. Neither is replacing mature field-stressed implementation with immature Rust implementation.

Enabling Rust on side with C in upstream #coreboot would be engineering. This way upstream stays mature but Rust can be used to further improve the implementation.

EDIT: I gave this more thought and here’s what I spammed :-) To put story short I don’t believe this works as a “standalone product” but is still potentially useful: https://social.kernel.org/notice/AdIOdilzP66IevvbCy
