Any chance of getting all non-Free firmware to Require: some empty
package (say freedom-loss or proprietary-crap :-) such that:

- one could yum erase this package and end up without any non-Free
Software installed, and

- one could easily veirfy that custom distros with a subset of the
complete Fedora package set don't include any such proprietary
packages?
