You act like that is the project's fault though.

The whole point of libreboot is to be a purely free software alternative and they can't do that with modern AMD/Intel.

Sure, that means the project will never be mainstream but it doesn't mean it is dead in the water.

There's been some hacks recently that have managed to nerf the ME on sandy/ivybridge. It's still a blob but it disables a lot of the other functionality so there's hope for newer hardware.

Even if it is not their fault it is still their problem.
