1. There is nothing wrong with a maintainer of a specific kernel
package to add support for deblob. They're the maintainer and it's their choice
to
support that or not.
2. I removed deblob from gentoo-sources because it was annoying at the time
(I hear the script has changed now), and rather than make it less annoying, I
decided
my time was better spent on other things.
3. Something does not have to be in gentoo-sources for it to have relevance.
I think that's obvious and should not be an argument to include something or
not.
