no one claimed that it was invalid - it is the blacklist reference; so it should contain valid information - the problem is that this one is very incomplete - it gives no useful information - a better single word would be "useless" or "uninformative" or "unhelpful"

nothing in this ticket explains what the precise problem is or was, or how to know if the problem still exists -

if those files were different, that still indicates nothing useful - why are they different? - are they different enough, or should they be more different? - if that question can not be answered, then this BR is useless and there is no justification for those packages being on the blacklist

OTOH, if the files are identical, then the only new information that adds, is that linux-libre does not modify those files - so the question becomes "why are those files identical?" - but whether they are identical or different, that is not important - they could be identically libre or identically non-free

still, the only important question remains unanswered: "how could we know which files should be different and which should be the same?"
