Thanks.
I think with our next release, we will have got less users. Why?
We stripped out all binary only firmware images from Linux and put them
mostly into the non-free linux-firmware image.
What is the consense?
I can not install any newer Desktop PC, Notebook and now ALSO HP
Proliant servers (current generations) without activating non-free
manualy, which eats time. No PXE boot, automagic installed updates after
netinstall etc...
Don't understand me wrong, I am completly happy with our DFSG, we should
follow this way, but I also think we should provide images with non-free
enabled to allow a simple and fast installation of Debian for our
Desktop and Business users.
