+% T440p ROMs using mrc.bin deleted from release (libre MRC setups retained)
+% Leah Rowe
+% 23 March 2023
+
+Introduction, and warning
+=========================
+
+Haswell machines (T440p/W541 ThinkPads) have the following targets in lbmk,
+and these were available in as ROM images pre-compiled in the recent
+Libreboot 20230319 release. They are:
+
+* `t440pmrc_12mb`: uses `mrc.bin` for raminit / peripherals (binary blob)
+* `w541mrc_12mb`: uses `mrc.bin` for raminit / peripherals (binary blob!)
+* `t440p_12mb`: uses Angel Pon's experimental libre replacement of `mrc.bin`
+* `w541_12mb`: ditto (uses Angel's code)
+
+The `t440p_12mb` and `w541_12mb` images are *still available*, in the
+Libreboot 20230319 release images. HOWEVER:
+
+The `t440pmrc_12mb` and `w541mrc_12mb` images have been *deleted* from rsync,
+for the Libreboot 20230319 release. The previous 20221214 release also had
+these as `t440p_12mb` and `w541_12mb` because in that release, only the blob
+MRC was available (Angel's libre replacement appeared in the 20230319 release),
+and they've been deleted there aswell.
+
+If you downloaded pre-built `t440pmrc_12mb` or `w541mrc_12mb`, please DO NOT
+USE THEM AS THEY DO NOT BOOT. The cause is being investigated.
+
+Essentially, we believe that there are differences between these two things,
+in terms of the resulting image after MRC blob insertion:
+
+* Coreboot's own build system logic, for inserting MRC blobs. This is what
+  Libreboot uses when compiling these images, on those targets. **This boots
+  just fine.**
+* Libreboot's own `blobutil` which is used to re-insert MRC blobs on release
+  images (which have the MRC blobs scrubbed, prior to release). **Does not
+  boot, resulting in a brick.**
+
+So it is these differences being investigated first. If you want to reliably
+boot and use `t440pmrc_12mb` or `w541mrc_12mb`, please compile them yourself
+using the [Libreboot build instructions](../docs/build/) - otherwise, if you
+want the libre MRC version, using `t440p_12mb` or `w541_12mb` images, then
+that's OK and you can use the pre-compiled images from Libreboot 20230319.
+
+Context
+-------
+
+When building T440p or W541 ROM images directly, from `lbmk` (Libreboot's
+automated build system), MRC images are inserted if required (depending on
+the build target). These images are scrubbed from release images, and a script
+is provided (documented) to re-download and re-insert these into the image.
+
+**Scenario one, compile from lbmk (using `mrc.bin`) - BOOTS FINE:**
+
+Booting T440p/W541 images generated by running lbmk directly (or using source
+tarballs from releases to build them), on an image that uses the `mrc.bin`
+blob, will boot perfectly and work just fine.
+
+**Scenario two, release roms (using `mrc.bin`) - DOES NOT BOOT:**
+
+However, it was discovered that when inserting these blobs into the ROM images
+on release images, using Libreboot's `blobutil`, the resulting ROM would not
+boot when flashed, resulting in a brick.
+
+**THEREFORE, if you downloaded Libreboot images that require `mrc.bin`, please
+do NOT use them, please instead compile from source using `lbmk`, or use the
+release images from 20230319 of target `t440p_12mb` or `w541_12mb`; these
+versions will work, but the blob MRC ones named `t440pmrc_12mb`
+and `w541mrc_12mb` are currently BROKEN, in the release.**
+
+For the time being, Libreboot will *not* provide Haswell images that
+use the *blob* `mrc.bin`. It will *only* provide the images that use libre MRC.
+
+If you want to use a setup with the blob `mrc.bin`, please compile Libreboot
+yourself.
+
+I apologise to anyone who flashed using `blobutil` to insert `mrc.bin`. This
+was reported online but I initially shrugged it off, until I tested it myself
+this evening.
+
+At the time of publishing this post, some of the rsync/https mirrors still
+have the offending images, but some have already synced the deletion on my end.
