I'm against Binary blobs- I like to know what's going into my OS without compromise, especially in this world of spyware, malware and viruses.
I'm sure there are eleMentS out there that would love to see a project like this fail using any tactics possible. I'd rather change my video card or wait for an open source driver.
(A little paranoia is healthy ;-)

that BeOS/Haiku is missing.
So how do we feel about binary blobs?
