I have no agenda, I'm just sick of seeing all the behaviour on this list.

There are people out there using flashrom on DOS I'm sure there *are* people using flashrom on DOS but I'm not sure it's something you should optimize a project for. > Also... Doesn't fwupd use flashrom? Yes, but in the same way as Google; i.e. we only allow-list specific hardware (that we test) that uses the internal programmer for a subset of SPI chips. All the other fwupd functionality is native as the impedance mismatch between fwupd and libflashrom is striking. We did play with using other programmers but it didn't work very well. > > Normal people don't use flashrom in > > production in any appreciable number. > Hmmm, this seems to be another potential source of misunderstandings. > What do you mean with "in production"? Not on a test system, i.e. one with paying customers. StarLabs probably wins here, but they're one of the systems we do end-to-end testing with. > Who do you think is responsible for flashrom, then?
