I think we can draw a line in this discussion this way:

Daniel will implement the installer in the way he was saying,
adding non-free firmwares limited to the ones that if missed are
blocking for the installer ( so, nothing more than few firmwares for
things like network cards or wifi, for example ), with the choice for
the user to select them but disabled by default, and making the user
knowing that he is selecting a non-free firmware.

This will be our default installer.

When our infrastructure will use that installer to build the iso images,
a script will also build another image with all those non-free firmware
removed, and this will be our "free" image.

Both will be marked as "official", and the name of the generated isos
will be something like devuan-jessie-...-full.iso and
devuan-jessie-...-free.iso

This way i hope we will make all happy.
