me_cleaner is not coreboot specific, you can even apply it to stock BIOS (with exceptions), though to figure out the details for any given board you'd still consult coreboot or libreboot docs. I suppose that's another thing libreboot does, document a lot of gnarly firmware stuff, up to voltages and currents and circuit design best practices, sheesh, big deal, I still hate it!

new and improved libreboot — I started lurking around libreboot project years ago when it was primarily "marketed" as the better way to get rid of Intel ME, with other inferior way being the me_cleaner. The situation was dire, it only worked with oldern thinkpads with many caveats, some ancient server board and the only light at the end of the tunnel I will never stop harping about - Talos 2 [https link] So I decided to check the project out again recently and see what's up, and lo and behold...
