+					The RPi can be used to install libreboot onto a system that uses SPI flash, but libreboot intentionally doesn't document it.
+					Why? Blobs. The RPi requires a blob for the integrated video chipset, in order to boot. This was true of the original RPi, and
+					has continued to be true for all subsequent revisions of the hardware. The RPi people clearly don't give a damn about you freedom,
+					so we don't give a damn about endorsing them.
