A DNF plugin will be written to make use of the `Supplements` metadata to automatically install the appropriate firmware packages based on the hardware present on the system (see openSUSE's `libzypp`: https://github.com/openSUSE/libzypp/blob/a34d857dbe3b16d4a7e0219cd213cc5a879... and https://github.com/openSUSE/libzypp/blob/7f345ea4892fd02345e8de47c2a08ab5b17...)
What about Fedora editions that don't have dnf (Silverblue, Kinoite, CoreOS)?
They load libdnf through rpm-ostree, so a libdnf plugin will still work.
I'm not the most qualified to speak to this point, but I'm not sure that just because rpm-ostree uses libdnf under the hood this will automatically just work. I suspect that it won't work. Probably for those variants we'd just need to include the `linux-firmware-all` package (or whatever equivalent to get what we currently have).
