Thanks for doing this.

I'm going through your log. Remember that a key thing is commitment to
removing nonfree bits, and demonstrating effort to live up to that
commitment. If this log shows that there is still nonfree firmware in
the kernel, then I'll help file the bugs in Debian. If they are living
up to their announcement, then they will fix those bugs (and as a Debian
Developer also, I'll definitely advocate for that).

I've also written to rms asking about the announcement.
