11 it seems that it may be possible to need only very simple tools for the
12 deblob program(s). I think that would be a worthwhile improvement and it
13 would probably also simplify integration of deblob not only in Gentoo.

15 That said, if python2_7 is not a thing in Gentoo anymore then the patch
16 makes sense to me.

18 I think the discussion on merits concluded well - kernel maintainers who
19 want can support it. Everyone who considers it pointless can ignore it.
20 All good.
