Re: [Libreboot] Unsubscribing (Was: Future of Libreboot)

[Bruno Dantas]

I'm also unsubscribing after sending this, sadly. I'm not a libreboot developer 
but am a happy user and, until now, was an avid tester.

I have little to no interest in politics or law and messages on this mailing 
list just make me cringe.

Best of luck to everyone.
