Users should use the firmware they need, especially in the virtual world, where choosing is really easy. But the *CSM* is just an elaborate workaround for the user, to circumvent a decision that a platform vendor made for him/her unsolicitedly. In the virtual world in particular, I don't think such workarounds should be necessary; the platform vendor should *please* the user, and give them SeaBIOS directly, if they want that. (Again, just my opinion -- I just wanted to clarify that I wasn't taking a stab at SeaBIOS. That would be *foolish*.)
