And why should we trust on Gluglug, for example? This is irrational,
since x60/T60 is out of production. Also, we shouldn't "trust" it, we
should -know- this is working correctly.

Every supported libreboot laptop have this same problem, they all
have blobs on Embedded Controller.
I think the correct point here is ask if libreboot supported laptops run
microcode. Acording to GNUtool here [1] the x60 still running microcode
even removing it on bios.
