And ? What's the point ? We're talking about firmware, the less it does sometimes, the better. We're not trying to compete on functionnality but we think for long term maintainance and integrating GNU Guix and repairing RAM init on D16 for example is much more efficient for us than supporting a lot of boards with a lot of functionalities. > > I may be missing a thing or two, above, but one thing I'm not missing is > my strong and stable commitment to the free software movement, even when > I'm dealing with hostile project maintainers who won't even consider my > patches. They have been considered and some applied, please stop trying to lie about verifiable facts... Happy hacking, anyway.
