If there were a method of building images that did not touch the
non-free components, I presume that would satisfy you.

Let's say that we could make that image bit-for-bit reproducible with an
image that was produced by taking the normal with-nonfree-firmware
image, and filtering it somehow (e.g. overwriting the non-free bits with
zeros, say).

Would you object if the normal way of generating the image was to apply
the filter, rather than build it in parallel?

If that would be OK, then one could have something that applied the
filter to our normal images to provide people with the images you want,
while not require duplication of building and storage.

People could always confirm that they were getting the same result as
building without the nonfree firmware by doing it themselves, and
checking things matched.

Is that something that would work for you?

Cheers, Phil.
