In fact we don't closely track tianocore but there are some good reasons to
update in the near future:

Adding NVRAM requires configuration work: changing the memory map, changing
the driver to handle variables...  Currently configuration is IMHO a nightmare
mostly because it is based on java tools and it takes a long time to
have the first file compiled.

Tianocore is currently changing its configuration tools: mostly (?) python
based,
text files instead of xml files.  I *hope* this will ease development.

That's the reason why I prefer to wait for the end of tianocore transition
before
making some fundamental changes (such as mapping) in the GFW.

Tristan.
