I am not sure if we do have firmware that is known for a fact
to be non-free; but if there is, this option does not allow us to ship
it in main. If it did, it would have needed a 3:1 majority as well.
I have a machine which does need non-free firmware-XXX packages
for the network card, and the non-free firmwares on a usb stick solves
the problem nicely. I don't think shippinf the firmware separately is a
show stopper.
