I now read through the slides about NERF and well… it appears that with non extensible they have simplicity in mind. They relay all the extensibility to the go based user space Initramfs. I am not sure whether some go based thing would have been needed her but I am thankful for any efforts to rid systems of proprietary firmware crap. Even better tough: Not putting in the crap in the first place. No crap inside? No effort needed to rip it out again. -- Martin _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list [email protected] https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
