Actually, re kernel, one does not even have to rebuild it. It is enough to remove the upstream firmware package to get rid of blobs and get something similar to Debian-style free kernel, which is to this day not entirely banned by FSDG, afaik. In other words, the functional equivalent of Freenix 14 can be created by an end user of Slackware 15 in minutes by simply uninstalling and blacklisting a handful of non-free packages. In light of that, I simply ended up spending my summer on Xonotic and other free software projects, where my work seems to generate orders of magnitude more interest and participation. Again, I am not saying we are giving up, but I am kind of stuck looking around and evaluating options, more than churning out a full release.
