The sad part is that it took RMS making excuses for sex trafficking for him to get kicked out. He's been a hindrance to the free software movement for many years now, in technical/licensing/endorsement/general image matters.

Ah, so proprietary firmware is fine as long as you can't see it, change it, audit it, improve it (patching), or replace it with free firmware. Gotcha. Sorry, but I'm not interested in your image of "freedom" then. That's not freedom, it's bullshit.
Freedom is having all proprietary firmware that you can't escape or get rid of live in /lib/firmware, so at *least* you can inspect it, decide if you want to trust it, know exactly what version is used, and perhaps one day decide to write a free version.

What are you going on about? The whole point I'm making is that the FSF RYF stuff doesn't encourage hardware that is "almost free except for a tiny compromise", it encourages hardware that is *way less free* and opaque and unfreeable.
