This is a bad idea and will work to further muddy the waters and people will buy hardware that's Linux compatible but not freedom aka Linux-libre compatible...

Aaargh, if only Linus hadn't caved in and approved binary blobs in the kernel... Of course this does not mean he couldn't try to remove them any time he wants. Unfortunately his reputation suggests one should not hold his breath waiting for this change. I very much hope I will be proven wrong tomorrow.

FUD, fear, uncertainty and doubt are already the major hurdles for adoption of free software. (Thanks Micro$oft!) This will only make matters worse.
