I'm actually tempted to take him up on that offer.
Just today I went looking for information about UefiDebugLib to see if 
it was possible for a driver to print debug information to the serial 
port (or other sort of debug device) instead of the console, and came 
across the thread at
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.bios.tianocore.devel/3024 where 
thanks to Google's cache I learned that:

"The EDK used some Tiano and implementation defined protocols to support DEBUG and ASSERT macros. So DEBUG
and ASSERT from the EDK can only be reliably used if you compile all the EDK firmware together. As Liming
points out it is much safer to use a UEFI console based debug message for developing generic drivers and
applications."

It's a shame to lose information like that.
