Yes, you're right about Fedora and I should've included this quote about Debian instead. I was unscrupulous; didn't read the quote with due diligence.

With the release of Debian 6.0 (“squeeze”) in February 2011, these blobs have been moved out of the main distribution to separate packages in the nonfree repository. However, the problem partly remains: the installer in some cases recommends these nonfree firmware files for the peripherals on the machine.
