EBL immensely simplifies the foundry and offers the possibility for OS distributed design and manufacture, affordable for "maker" groups, without involving a commercial entity. The number of trusted parties shrinks significantly.

Who can spot the two untrusted parties in this chickenegg EBL rig?

And what are they driving? D-oh.

EBL would be fine if it's control was rebuilt as trusted gear.
