 amount of custom engineering required, make it possible for OS distributions to
 support embedded platforms, while still preserving the firmware stack that
 product vendors are comfortable with.
-Or in simpler terms, EBBR is designed to solve the embedded boot mess by
-adding a defined standard (UEFI) to the existing firmware projects (U-Boot).

 However, EBBR is a specification, not an implementation.
 The goal of EBBR is not to mandate U-Boot and Linux.
