Linux-2.6.33-libre released

The best success this effort could have is to get all the firmware shoved back onto a non-upgradeable (or upgradeable using a windows tool) ROM or EEPROM. It's a step backwards IMO. Having the blob of hardware band-aids that is a typical firmware is not going to help anyone do anything, it doesn't advance freedom and it's only success would be to blackmail hardware makers into putting everything back into non-upgradable ROMS like in the old days. That way if hardware has a bug you buy new hardware rather than download a firmware with an extra bandaid for the bug in the hardware.

This is just silliness to me.
