Mix up quality and quantity?  That's a gross mischaracterization on your
part, and I quite resent it.

There are valid reasons for some of those.  If it is now necessary to
make Mr. Jansa like the comments on the ixp4xx firmware recipe in order
to keep the recipe in OE, I will update those.  But I cannot make it so
that Intel will not require click-throughs in order to download the
firmware files.
