I share the same concern as you: Steve's proposal would mean that installers
containing non-free firmware become official part of Debian. My text does not.

That would be repeating what's already true. My text includes only things that
I propose to change. So what is off/unofficially today, remains that. It's like
"the name of the project remains Debian". Why would I mention that.

Does this cover your concern?
