Agreed. Maybe it helps to summarize the options, my take is: Proposal A replaces the free installer by one containing and sometimes enabling non-free firmware -- there is no more free installer Proposal B gives the free installer less visibility than the non-free one Proposal C allows presenting free and non-free installers equally visible. Proposal D is NOTA thus permit publishing a non-free installer like today, reinforcing that interpretation of the social contract Proposal E is proposal A plus change to social contract to permit it
