 Rev4 fixed a bug: GRUB was not allowing the background image to be changed,
 despite rules in `grub.cfg` that made one in CBFS load before memdisk. This fix
 was implemented by no longer inserting background images into GRUB's memdisk,

 Basically, this fix was done as an excuse just to do another revision update,
 to change the logo! The actual bug was actually quite minor and irrelevant.

+Revision 5 and 6

+
+All current ROM/src archives in this release match changes up to rev6.
+
+I decided afterall to keep using the boring all-grey silhouette logo in GRUB.
+I also made the same decision for U-Boot.
+
+The plain logo is less eye catching and looks less out of place, and it's
+uncontroversial in every way. This revision still contains the fix allowing
+GRUB backgrounds to be changed. Rev5 made this change to GRUB and Rev6 made
+it to U-Boot. All ROM images were re-compiled to rev6, and re-uploaded.
+
+A minor change, to be sure. I need Libreboot to be as trouble-free as possible
+to everyone, and some countries are culturally hostile to the particular
+colour gradient used by the old logo (from rev4); even if I preferred that
+logo, I want those users to have no trouble at all using Libreboot in public.
+Libreboot's only purpose is to provide free boot firmware.
