Both - if people want firmware packages split out of linux-firmware,
it
doesn't make sense unless the drivers (similar in size) are also split,
and if you were to do so, you'd need to start adding the driver -> firmware
package dependency mapping.
Basically: it's hard, but the only way we're going to get to a
reasonably-small minimal image, so if that's important (and I believe it
is), it's something Fedora should invest resources in.
