Any binary blobs? Binary blob device drivers are non-starters. Binary blob firmware (e.g. in a wireless chip), can be handled if necessary if the code is available to the community (as is the case with ath9k). When we can get some (if they are interesting)?

Good point on the blobs. I’m hopeful that their big emphasis on Open Source versions (they mention OpenWrt) will avoid the blobs.
