That's not right. It doesn't. |

So, I'm afraid you're exaggerating a little bit. Yes, we should look |
| 31 |
better in which firmware packages to remove (because they are merged in |
| 32 |
linux-firmware or the driver is gone), but that does not mean we should |
| 33 |
not ever consider touching ever a single one of them. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
And I mean, we've had quick-stable updates that were much more |
| 36 |
destructive than "just" removing the firmware of the nic (which is most |
| 37 |
likely still available to emerge if the user is not using eclean-dist). |
| 38 |
udev-197 anyone? |
