SubjectRe: RFC: install firmware in a kernel-dependent directory
Hi!

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.
