@SuperDicq @icedquinn @bonifartius @sally >That is true because the images are tested extensively.
Most GNUboot images are only slightly tested due to a lack of freedom enjoyers that love teeeestttttiiiinnng; https://www.gnu.org/software/gnuboot/web/status.html

Although, the KGPE-D16 RDIMM images are indeed extensively tested (easy to de-brick too, as you just swap the DIP-8 flash chip with a known good version).

>which may need an external flasher to recover if you want to be the first person to test them.
The images are expected to work, it's just that nobody has tried them.

Usually, at worst something will break and then well you just flash an older version.

>but then again maybe those people won't be playing with flashrom in the first place.
People who pay to have GNUboot flashed pretty much never update, as the existing BIOS version works for them.
