Graphical boot menus are timing out before AMDGPU can load.

    Right; any solution they come up with presumably needs to be more scalable than “new drivers” and “old drivers”. Eventually there will be too large a set of “old drivers” and we’ll end up in the same situation with a small “new drivers” driver and a large “old drivers” blob.

      A different driver set for each chip architecture maybe?

        Maybe; it does sound like reducing the size of the driver is potentially possible as well https://www.phoronix.com/news/AMDGPU-Headers-Repo-Idea
