i escalated the issue of flashrom to a bug report, and copied the relevant
discussion from the mailing list to a redmine ticket - that is the blacklist
reference now; so we should move further discussion of flashrom to redmine

https://labs.parabola.nu/issues/3493

i did that because as it stands, we decided that flashrom-stable would not be
a duplicate package, but can replace flashrom instead - maybe that needs more
discussion

if one of them (and only one of them) is deficient, then we should probably
ignore the deficient one, regardless of its maintenance benefits - if both are
deficient (in terms of features) in some way, then maybe we should carry both,
or decide which one has the most desirable feature-set

generally, such decision should benefit users - concerns such as "it is too
rusty" or "it is a PITA to maintain" do not affect the user; so those should be
secondary concerns, not a deciding factor, unless the decision would not affect
the user
