Shit proposal, IMO. I'm fine with them having an alternative installer ISO that includes proprietary firmware and explicitly informs the user about this, but to do it by default in their normal installer (which is the intent, if I've understood it correctly) is absolute bullshit. One of the reasons why I still use Debian is that they keep non-free software out of their default repositories, and that this has to be explicitly enabled. Depending on how the new installer ends up presenting this, at least there are forks like Devuan, but it's a damn shame
