the alternative is manually (and somewhat regularly during your hardware’s support period) searching a manufacturer’s web site for a bios update, hoping that your bios has a built-in flasher or there being at least a boot disk or ‘dos’ flasher you can slap on a usb to do it… lvfs is a good thing.

Oh, surely it is a good thing.
But I think we can demand lenovo to just source hardware with libre firmware. That’s a better thing.
