Thanks for explanations.
Most of replies mentions about firmwares already existing because they
are part of hardware cpu. I do know and I really understand that! There
is nothing to do about that even if i run dd=/dev/zero of=/wholedrive.
I just wanted to KINDLY ask developers that how could someone exclude
binary/blob only drivers while compiling the current. A brief
documentation would be really good.
I still don't understand why this would be good, at last for firmwares
(drivers may be a bit different). You don't even know what hardware
parts use firmwares; the fact that the firmware is loaded by the OS
or from some eeprom doesn't change anything.
