Given that the firmware packages already have Supplements: namespace:modalias(...) in place, I wonder why kernel-firmware is still recommended by kernel-default.
It's all about "better than sorry-to-break". The major concern was the hotplug network device that requires a (new) firmware and if that's the only available network -- then you'll lose the possibility for the whole updates. I myself am very much for dropping this Recommends from kernel package. IMO, this could be moved to other ways, e.g. patterns, in addition to the Supplements-based installation with hardware detection. But it hasn't happened, so far, unfortunately -- because it cannot work in 100% safe way. Takashi
