Re: Firmware - what are we going to do about it?

I see several possible options that the images team can choose from here.
However, several of these options could undermine the principles of Debian. We
don't want to make fundamental changes like that without the clear backing of
the wider project. That's why I'm writing this...

I have an idea for an extra option:

6. Put the closed source firmware somewhere in the Debian images, but never install closed source firmware by default. "No" should be the default. And to put "non-free" into sources.list should also be an non-default choice, even when you install closed source firmware.

Maybe there could also be a patch, what removes the closed-source firmware from the image.

With regards,
