Thanks. I'll wait though, until the decisions about open-sourcing and
integrating uGOP are made.

Thanks again! However the MP PPI was just one example. It would be
good to have up-to-date information and clean integration for all
features of Intel's blobs. Information, I think, is the more impor-
tant part. Staying with the MP PPI example: IIRC, when it was intro-
duced there was a list of advanced features added to our documen-
tation, arguing that the features would only be made possible by the
MP PPI integration. But I'm not sure if any of these features ever
surfaced in coreboot. So maybe this is something to add to your
ticket: Do we actually need the MP PPI in coreboot?

Last time I checked Intel was still a multi-billion dollar company.
I think this translates to: SOL is not a high enough priority for
Intel.

If you only go one route, we'll never have a definite answer which
is the faster one.
