I admire the vigour in developing Libreboot, GRUB, rootfs and etc. Yet, in the long term, my confidence is really in the approach advocated by Niklaus Wirth and associates. For example much of the difficulty in auditing a Linux software results from the immense size of it. I'm not convinced that more will really bring improvement. What's needed is less software and more efficiency. Bear in mind that many wonderful gadgets were developed to improve steam locomotives. A few remain in museums. The rest are long gone to the steel furnace. Regards, ...
