Note that I cannot speak for Coreboot.

Here I want to point out that security is relative to a threat model.

The fact that the boot software (Coreboot, u-boot, etc) can be replaced
by users is crucial for freedom. 

I wouldn't want to use a computer which boot software is signed in a way
that prevent users from replacing it, as that would be an attack on
freedom. That attack would also be a security issue as well for me as
the device manufacturer is part of my threat model.

I wouldn't feel safe in a jail either.

Denis.
