I am not trying to dispute your suggestion, I had a hope to get a data 
point with a success story.

To be precise concerning packages, it is firmware-iwlwifi 
(src:firmware-nonfree). Even unstable currently have a year old package, 
so for experiments it is better to take files from an upstream git 
repository. It requires kernel upgrade since the range of supported 
firmware versions is hardcoded.
