There is not single computer in the entire world that works 100% with free software only. Even the Thinkpad that the FSF awards, those are full of proprietary code running inside. The fact that the FSF considers those "unimportant" means little. The fact is, we have no 100% free machines at this point in time. We need to go with what we have and do the best we can. These boards can actually use less proprietary code than other machines. Allwinner boards for example are usable with free bootloader, and have experimental drivers for GPU. So, yeah, maybe we should accept these as being "ok for the time being". For me these boards respect my freedom more than the laptop I have in front of me.
