Right. I would _oppose_ your proposal if it is to appear in the ballot, because a freeness _win_ of Steve's proposal is that... People that need to enable non-free firmware don't need to pull in all of non-free in order to keep it updated. I often install packages for getting to know them, just because they appeared in my list. And my list nowadays includes non-free because of some firmware. So I have installed non-free software without noticing. Splitting non-free firmware grants the user some more system freeness guarantees. Greetings,
