+ They are still required so it means identifying the source of all of them and having proper from-source packaging, it's already done in gentoo for Seabios and EDK2-OVMF (UEFI) which is enough to boot machines but not for full-x86 support, non-x86 being even more problematic (ie. which upstream is used for OpenBIOS/OpenFirmware as used for sparc32, sparc64 and ppc32).
