First we get to a point where the blobs exist separately in the kernel
and _can_ be easily removed. The korg1212 sound driver patch was just
the first of many, and someone will need to finish the job.

When that's done, we can have a sensible discussion upstream about
moving them to a separate tarball. And as I said -- even if upstream
baulks at that last step, I'd support Fedora doing it on our own.
