If the firmware is open source, backdoors can only be present in the CPU itself. That is a posibility, however with Intel backdoors can be in so many more places, plus in the CPU itself. Sounds like an improvement?

Assuming people are actually auditing the open source firmware.

And the pre-installed firmware hasn't been modified at all.
