+And why should all of us suffer the hassle of a DVD + a CD (how would that
+work for all those that use USB-sticks, do they now need two sticks? And
+do you expect magazines to include a DVD+CD to please Mageia? What about
+all the extra waste and pollution cause by dual media?) just to please the
+few ultra-orthodox free software fanatics that seemingly would get allergic
+reactions if the main media contained some non-free code (even if it's only
+installed upon an informed choice of the user)?
+
+Putting the non-free firmware on the main DVD should be a no brainer, since
+a clear install option is all that's needed to keep the systems of free
+software fanatics pure.
