When the firmware travels with the module, as it does today in tg3, bnx2 and others, is the most reliable system available. The simplest, the least amount of "parts", the easiest to upgrade, the best method to guarantee driver/firmware version matches. It works wonderfully today.

Isn't it David's obligation not to remove a highly reliable, working system?
