As I said: I want to avoid this discussion on d-kernel, because it's
better on d-vote.
But as you ask: In my opinion, delivering the kernel with binary blobs
is a smaller violation of the social contract than to remove important
functionality or further delay the release of sarge. So, I think this
smaller violation is justified by avoid the larger one. (Or in other
words: In my opinion, it's ok from the point of view of the social
contract to keep the status quo of the kernel.)
Please be aware that there is another issue with GPL-incompatibility
that needs to be solved in either case, see the referenced decision by
Anthony. And, of course, there are other interpretations of the social
contract.
Cheers,
Andi
