it kinda needs to be there. my intention to be at peace
with *those people* is still on. you know the ones. but
there's no way to host this page without revealing that
hostility, which is currently *former* (or rather,
dormant) hostility. rather than censor specific information,
the entire page was deleted as part of the reconciliation
with fsf, referenced in the article itself, but this too was
a mistake.
no, the correct thing to do is *continue to host this page*.
the other hostile pages are not being re-added.
i'll probably delete this page again at some point, and
redirect it to a new history page, that will contain all
of the same substance and *more*, because:
this page was written in a day. it was written from start
to finish *on the same day* of libreboot's 10 year anniversary.
therefore, it's not as long as it could be.
a more complete history is on my TODO. one that also goes
into a lot more technical detail. libreboot has a rich and
vibrant history, yet has so far not documented its own
history well, and the relatively niche nature of libreboot
is that a lot of people don't really get what it's about,
so you won't find a lot of that info online - the history
of the project is entirely in my head.
there are other people who can provide their own accounts,
but i'm the only person that's been here since the beginning.
anyway, i digress.

i once again stand by my previous assertion: canoeboot
will not be promoted, on libreboot.org. it is the bastard
child born out of hate.
however, despite previous assertions, i will continue to
maintain canoeboot, always in GNU Leah Mode.

fsf has never had any say over libreboot; i have. it was
all me, but i used to be part of their cult. i no longer
am.
this is housecleaning.

i will redirect this article to the canoeboot.org
homepage. the canoeboot website already more or less
says what the article says.
i will move the article itself to the canoeboot
news section, at the same URI: news/gnuboot.html

it was necessary for a few days, to let people know, but i think
people all got the message by now.
the substance of the announcement has been moved to the main
article, summarised
the removed page will be redirected in libreboot.org's httpd
