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.
