     Not even an old Dell server :-) The stock Dell server. Probably all

     Firmware in devices is the opposite of an old feature; it is a new, 
very sensible, industrial trend which is going to reach pretty much 
every piece of hardware. It is important for Devuan to devise a 
sustainable policy with regard to them.
