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.

LOL no they don't. They don't audit squat. Where did you get that idea from? How are they going to audit ROM code or encrypted microcode or code for a proprietary DRAM controller sequencer architecture?

*I* can audit some bizarro proprietary firmware better than whatever the FSF can do themselves, and *I* want the freedom to do so.

Also, making firmware immutable for this reason is ridiculous. If they want to provide a "we audited this version and it's okay" stamp, just publish the SHA256 of the binary! Making it immutable and uncheckable is nonsense!
