Great.  I'm glad to hear you will maintain them one way or another.

Again, you aren't listening.  You're stuck on your implementation being
the only way to achieve that goal.

If doing it properly and splitting the firmware into a subpackage is
against your personal goal for whatever reason, then that's fine.  It's
against my personal goal of having a working laptop to completely strip
out the firmware.

Absolutely.  I will say this in the kindest terms possible though: if
you continue to just post on this thread over and over saying the same
things when several people have tried to actually help you accomplish
the end goal, your message will turn from one which is admirable to one
which is repetitive and grating.
