That is probably not sufficient, if I recall well, some of the files libreboot removes have nonfree software in them. Since that nonfree software will not be removed anymore, we won't be able to use the newer tarballs. I'm already in discussion with other people to continue a libre version of Libreboot. Personally I need that to update the u-boot packages in Parabola, so it's quite urgent for me. Another issue with the tools is that Leah's Libreboot dropped support for some of the boards it supported before like the KGPE D16. And the tools probably work fine with the previous release of Libreboot. So the issue here is that ideally the tools should also be tested against the older release as well because of that. Parabola has a KGPE-D16 so it might be easy to do some quick tests. Denis.
