Purism is clearly doing the best they can, and a perfect solution won't be there for a long time.

Unfortunately, the Excavator-based Stoney Ridge (and older) processors are nowhere near Zen in performance or efficiency (making them truly terrible laptop CPUs), which means even the previous generation Purism laptops based on Intels 6th gen Core processors will be far better machines (double the runtime at double the performance).
Still, it is a great achievement of Google to push AMD to deliver Coreboot support to this platform, and we can hope, that they will do so for Raven Ridge as well, which would actually be a usable platform today.
Right now there are no signs for this, and AMD still refuses to make AGESA blobs available for anything but the stuff Google has specifically paid for.
