[coreboot] Time for a new project

[Philip Schulz]

Hi,

 sorry for interrupting, but I have short question, actually two.

 For the unexperienced like me: Why would anybody need either LAR or
SELF? I kind of understand the reasoning behind LAR, but why would
SELF be neccessary? Can't you just extract a regular ELF file from a
LAR archive and then load it?

What do you mean by "streamload code" and why would you want to get
rid of the ELF loader?

I'm just interested, I'm not trying to make a point.

Regards,

Phil.
