If a free installer is still produced and offered alongside the one
including non-free-firmware, would you feel more at ease? That sounds
like an easy compromise to make, and many people would probably
welcome it.
Debian would recommend the one with non-free-firmware, for the
purposes of enabling users to install on current hardware, but both
would be available.
