Partly by the reasoning that was in my previous email and partly by
reasoning that some users will just try even-less-freedom-careful
distributions instead.  Telling them how to make a limited exception
for firmware without opening the whole system to non-free means some
users stay with debian when they wouldn't otherwise.
