FreeBSD kernel, shall we have the first 100% free GNU/FreeBSD

I am just wondering...is my guess true?
Not from Debian you won't, because you'll still have all the usual
issues the FSF have with Debian.
I thought that the only thing that made Debian non-free by FSF
definition is that they use the Linux kernel including binary blobs.
Therefor replacing the Linux kernel with FreeBSD's kernel would result
in a free system that the FSF would not recommend since the system would
still recommend non-free software be installed. Other than the kernel
are there non-free parts in Debian by FSF's definition?
Metad's blacklist [1] can give you some idea.
By the way, the default FreeBSD kernel is not without problems [2],
although Debian's version is probably blob-free now.
