I would say that we might want to review linux-firmware, and if the
newest firmware _is_ there, just get rid of the split one.

That should be probably the best approach, to actually kill of the
lone ones and keep the linux-firmware only.

I disagree. Why should we force users to install lots of crap (some of
it being non-free) that they will never need because they don't have
the hardware?

Why not specify which firmwares are to be installed using a 'FIRMWARE' 
variable. Similar to VIDEOCARDS?

Read my last reply. It's already supported through savedconfig.eclass. You only get what you want.
