IIRC, just one or two months ago several of the sys-firmware/iwl*-ucode
packages were lastrited with the recommendation of using
sys-kernel/linux-firmware instead. So why are we adding new firmware
ebuilds now? The iwl7625 firmware seems to be in linux-firmware, too.


The separate packages are indeed unnecessary in many cases because you 
can tell sys-kernel/linux-firmware to only install desired firmware 
files via USE=savedconfig. Nonetheless, some users and developers prefer 
to have the firmware in individual packages.


One of the reasons for this is that the linux-firmware upstream is 
sometimes slow to accept new or updated firmware in their repository 
(they have gotten better in recent times though). This however does not 
help products which are EOL (iwl3956/4965 etc.). They will not receive 
any firmware updates any longer, therefore their individual packages 
were less useful and have been last-rited.
