Speaking as someone who is maintaing support for at least two BSDs --
no, I don't think it helps very much. Making sure that all modules can
be compiled with "-z defs" or the equivalent libtool option helps more
than the restriction has. On the contrary it prevented e.g. Propolice
from being usable out of the box.

I agree, I still have to see a binary-only driver that doesn't depend on
some kernel blob to work.
