Yeah, I was a bit unclear here; to be more specific:

It it possible to remove the firmware bits from recent kernels and ship
them as a separate packages, so those users that need the firmware can
simply install them and everything works?

I don't want to leave those users outside in the cold. They need a
solution IMHO before targeting a Firmware-Free spin is worth the trouble.
