Removing firmware outside of the kernel is easy. Removing kernel in the 
firmware is going to be difficult but you or whoever wants to drive such 
a effort can probably get in touch with gNewSense folks to coordinate 
the effort. If there is a real need for it someone should step up to it. 
Let's see if that happens.
