The start of this debate (which has grown very far beyond the initial
request) was how to add non-free drivers/firmware for WiFi or special
network cards to the installation process for users who can not
download anything during installation because such drivers/firmware
are needed for internet connection. So, this issue can not become moot
:)

But everything else (graphic, sound, webcam, etc.) can be installed
from the internet after installation if necessary. This has never been
an issue.
