The picasso platforms are being worked on in a private repo because
it's not bootable at coreboot.org.  It's not bootable because the
patches that would make it bootable were delayed and rejected.

What's the incentive to work on anything at coreboot.org?  Why should
any company work at coreboot.org when we just get complaints and
grief?

Personally, I'm tired of dealing with it.  It's become too toxic, so
I'm retiring from the project.
