Hi,
I'd like a straw poll on whether we should include non-free firmware
in our installers by default.
It's a deviation from Debians traditional position, but a pragmatic
one that shows we care about the end users.
Keen for feedback.
I like the well drawn line in the sand for non-free software, but think
it almost has to be an initial menu choice on at least some version of
the install media. Otherwise I believe the possibility exists for a
Catch 22 situation where you may have the choice to download non-free
firmware blobs, but without said blobs the hardware you need to actually
perform the download does not function.
It is a sad situation, but one that needs recognition.
