That is surprising since I have yet to meet anyone to worked directly on UEFI that doesn't find it shatbox of incoherent garbage and a last gasp to claim intellectual secrets about the darnedest things. [Aka initializing RAM to all ZEROs is a super dooper secret that no one must have ]

If you wish for my engineering perspective of the topic of firmware; it ultimately comes down to two separate paths:

1) Those that expect the firmware to load platform-independent drivers directly from the hardware. Aka They want Open Firmware and they find UEFI a pathetic joke compared to it.

2) Those that expect the firmware to be a lightweight system designed to perform only the minimum of tasks necessary to load and run a modern 32-bit or 64-bit operating system. Aka they want coreboot and they find UEFI a bloated ugly mess that they wouldn't touch even if it came with a from and

To add insult to injury, it is easy to strap Open firmware support on top of coreboot [ OpenBIOS ] or any level of it you desire and that provides something that UEFI can NEVER do. Fit the needs of the users.
