The goal was to create a trustworthy, privacy respecting gnu-linux
distribution.
Without proprietary blobs, few people would have been able to use it, no
doubt about that.
With proprietary blobs, _no one_ is able to use it, since privacy is
completely terminated.
I can't believe that they made this decision; really, that's the stupidest
thing I heard of for a long time. What were they thinking?
Like "our goal is to make the first delicious non-alcoholic beer. But not so
many people will drink it if it's without alcohol, so let's take the whiskey
bottle and add some - yay! We're so smart!"
That's almost criminal. They're pretending to offer a privacy respecting
system and people rely on it.
