The problem is that we cannot control when the firmware is added. And
it is hard to track it. It is not added because of legal reasons.
There is no a driver package with the firmware in an acceptable format
with a distribution license. I think that it should be reverted either
way.
But the maintainers will decide. I wrote about that too.
