There is a thread "Continuation of OpenBSD's Stop the Blob" in progress
in the openbsd.misc mailing list that may (or may not) be of interest
to the Linux kernel devs.

As usual, Theo is clueless and uses propaganda to advance his agenda.

Specifically, in his email he mentions Intel ethernet being undocumented
-- false. The hardware docs are on SourceForge.

There are plenty of other examples of Linux people working to open up
hardware documentation. Many formerly-closed docs are posted at
http://gkernel.sourceforge.net/specs/ or on ALSA's doc FTP site.

But the truth does not fit Theo's narrative, so....

Hence his nickname "Theo de Rant".
