Call me when the FSF isn't actively hurting the cause for hardware freedon by having bass-ackwards certification rules that result in designs where non-free parts are made invisible and untouchable and unfreeable.

I want the freedom to *reverse engineer* the proprietary firmware, to *audit* the proprietary firmware, to *patch* the proprietary firmware, and ultimately to *replace* the proprietary firmware. The FSF *requires* depriving me of those freedoms to gain certification.
It also means RYF devices are untrustworthy by default, because their proprietary firmware is unauditable, and therefore its privacy implications cannot be understood. It could have one or multiple backdoors.

Yes, but because it's also applied to devices that do, it's meaningless as a certification, because it doesn't certify anything practical.
