I boggle. Lots and lots of modules need firmware when they initialize. They always have, they always will. Decreeing that 'they should not' doesn't change the reality that they *do*.

No, that's a sane requirement. Requesting firmware in module_init() can lead to deadlocks, if userspace can't process the request. It happened to work before because most of time userspace usually just reads firmware from a disk/initramfs.
So it makes sense to do something about it, however definitely not in the way udev developers do it.
