That means that it shouldn't be delivered with the kernel in the first place, right? Neither built in nor as a separate file. Maybe that's an even better solution: distribute it separately.
Which firmware to use is a matter of policy, in my opinion. I may want to use a modified firmware, for example, and put that into /lib/firmware where it belongs. But each time I install a new kernel, it will be replaced with the standard version.
