That's why I mentioned work on hw-detect and debian-cd…

How would that help? People will still need to install packages anyway.
Anyway, going back to what was agreed upon in the GR vote:

will also be configured to use the non-free-firmware component by
default in the apt sources.list file.
That doesn't quite say we enable non-free-firmware unconditionally.
