What do you exactly mean by that?
I can imagine at least two different interpretations of it:
1) Having different CD image sets: some sets containing only free
firmware, some others containing also the non-free firmware
(It seems that you meant this one, but notice that it will induce a
new choice point in the current CD creation work-flow.)
2) Having the non-free firmware in the regular CD image sets; firmware
which is not loaded by default, but that can be selectively enabled
by the user, pretty much as users can now enable "non-free" in
sources.list to get non-free packages from the "Internet media" (to
be compared with the "CD media").
Let's first clarify the options, so that we can have a more fruitful
flame fest on them later on :)
Cheers.
