he's not saying not to seperate the firmware at all, he's asking for the _option_ of compiling a kernel that doesn't have the firmware seperate from the modules.

a kernel compiled with this option would just drop-in to an older distro with zero impact. newer distros that have updated their userspace tools could compile with different options and have the firmware seperate.


Correct.

Thanks :)
