If only uploading the proprietary GPU firmware wasn't necessary to just launch the CPU, even at the cost of 3D acceleration and stuff like that, I'd be happy with it. It may even have reflashable closed blob inside - I know RMS wouldn't be happy with that, but I would. RasPi 1, however, required the user to provide a non-free blob on SD card, which is what I'm extremely unhappy with.

What does this really matter? A closed blob is a closed blob, it's not like the cpu itself isn't a closed blob. Now on the other hand, if the closed blob entails that functionality you expected can be taken away from you without your control, that's a different matter. Sure, I don't put it far beyond Broadcom, but that's a different matter.
