It's GPL compliance so yes, it's very important.

The only firmware blob we're not currently including as a git submodule 
is OpenBIOS.  I believe the main reason is that different boards use 
different commits so a single submodule is a bit challenge.  We probably 
ought to figure something out here though for the next release.

Can anyone comment a bit more about OpenBIOS?

BTW, OpenBIOS is already actively mirrored on git.qemu.org so all that's 
needed is a patch that does a git submodule add with the appropriate commit.

We do have a consistent policy :-)  We're just not enforcing it as 
tightly as we should.

Any binary we ship in the release tgz's should also have corresponding 
source in a submodule.
