I thought I'd point out that the cleaned-up drivers available in linux-libre work just fine on my home server that has an ATI video card. I don't know whether its absence causes any functionality degradation (my video card requirements are pretty low), but it certainly doesn't affect stability. It might be the case that my particular video card doesn't require the microcode at all, but it shouldn't be assumed that removing any of this firmware will cause any loss to every user of this driver.
