No, because it would totally change the spirit of this proposal, which 
is to provide to our users in a simpler way the non-free but 
redistributable firmwares which are and will continue to be for a long 
time required to use most hardware.
Drivers are a very different thing, since they interact with the OS much 
more closely.
