Yeah, poor wording on my side. I didn't mean to suggest deactivating non-free (updates) but deactivating, i.e. removing, the non-free firmware all-together. The user might try to run the system without additional firmware (which may even work), or may be driven to try different devices - but at least the system is fully working at this time. And it's user's choice. Hauke
