It surely was on-topic here to talk about whether unfree binary
blobs
should be included in Fedora.
About the technical implementation, sure. How do you 'devel'op the
mechanism to separate out the firmware and still be able to deliver
it.
Do we really want to say that if any ethical question arises during
discussion on Fedora lists, people may not address it?
Then migrate the subsequent flame-fest and inflamatory statements to
fedora-political, fedora-flames or fedora-legal ? Let it rot in peace
in obscurity, where such quasi-religious discussions belong.
The .advocacy groups on usenet is well known for being the playground
to hone your argumentation skills. Do we want fedora-list (where users
ask for help) or fedora-devel (where serious development discussions
are supposed to take place) to be this playground?
I'd be somewhat surprised if anyone answered yes to that question.
