it stay locked? No! Come on people, put your heads out of... ;)

Security is not an absolute. It is a tradeoff against the time needed to
overcome it. Secure Boot is more secure than no security. coreboot
offers no security. coreboot can never be "the Solution to the Secure
Boot Fiasco" until it can offer better security than Secure Boot.
Yes there may be breaks for early implementations of Secure Boot but
anyone predicting that it can never be fixed is a very brave person.
Never is a long time. Remember, fixed does not mean perfect. Fixed just
means takes longer to overcome than anyone cares to invest in it.
Sorry but "this will be broken because everything before it has been
broken" is not a credible critique; that is the inductive fallacy.
