And, for the "standard > images", these guidelines don't mean any change. Your statement is contradictory. DFSG-free means that it would be in main. Bastian's question was about drivers/firware that cannot be in main. I would appreciate it if we would not make hard decisions/statements on this NOW, but first await the post-etch discussion (or better investigation) on how, as a project, we can and want to support hardware that is technically non-free in the installer (and thus on Debian CD images). See <200609120147.30962.elendil@planet.nl> and <200609261818.37594.elendil@planet.nl> for my personal opinion on this.
