I'm rapidly forming the opinion that firmware isn't software
and that as
such has no place in the software chain. It's a fine line of
distinction, but as someone asked, are we going to stop supporting
hardware that have firmware upgrades on their chipset because the
firmware isn't 'open'? And if not, what's the difference between
hardware where the firmware is stored on a chipset and hardware where
the firmware is stored on the hard-disk?

Exactly my opinion too.
