I would say that we might want to review linux-firmware, and if the
newest firmware _is_ there, just get rid of the split one.
That should be probably the best approach, to actually kill of the
lone ones and keep the linux-firmware only.
I disagree. Why should we force users to install lots of crap (some of
it being non-free) that they will never need because they don't have
the hardware?

Maybe you don't understand how linux-firmware package works. It only
installs what you want -- it uses the savedconfig eclass to handle a
list of wanted firmwares.
I admit I never bothered to trim down my install of it, but the point is
YOU CAN do it.
