I think standardization is a great goal, but first we need right to repair as both a practical and legal thing.

The Framework and MNT Reform laptops are both RTR. System76 claims their newer lines will be user serviceable as well, with parts made available, and Dell is murmuring about the same (but I have more doubts).

I see standardization coming about once parts are more generally available to the public, but maybe you disagree and think standardization comes first?

@emacsen I thought that standardization of components (incl. lack of DRM) is the main missing thing for right to repair. If there's a battery standard (incl. physical interface) that is generally followed, then what prevents someone from manufacturing to that standard, and people from buying those batteries and using them as replacements in their laptops?
