I have already updated several of files you listed (those which changings
were most likely non-debatable), but now I would like to discuss, what to
do with files like
releases/bullseye/debian-installer/index.wml
releases/bullseye/errata.wml
releases/buster/debian-installer/index.wml
releases/buster/errata.wml
Those old release pages have a warning hint like
<quote>
If any of the hardware in your system requires non-free firmware to be
loaded with the device driver, you can use one of the tarballs of common
firmware packages or download an unofficial image including these non-free
firmwares. Instructions how to use the tarballs and general information
about loading firmware during an installation can be found in the
Installation Guide.
unofficial images with firmware included - daily builds
unofficial images with firmware included - weekly builds

First I thought we can leave this completely untouched, since these
"images with firmware included" are still there and they are also still
useful (for some hardware at least), if one wants to install those old
releases.
But now I would like to propose, we change the "unofficial images with
firmware included" phrase, since they are no longer *unofficial* according
to the non-free-firmware GR.
Thus I propose to change this into "special images with firmware included"
for those old releases.
Comments?
