What I've recommended in the past was of ALSO informing users of what that choosing those drivers imply. It seems some proponents only wish to inform of the problems of the Free Software drivers, caring absolutely nothing about informing of the non-Free Software drivers' problems. So they apply a two measures and two weights philosophy, in order to justify their bad choice of hardware.
