Sounds like a good idea. I'm not sure it will change very often, but often enough perhaps.

As of linux-firmware 20250613.12fe085f-5,
linux-firmwarewill become an empty package with dependencies pulling in different firmwares.This allows us to have more fine grained control of which firmwares are installed by
archinstall. This PR will add the default ones as of writing this.In the future, we can detect and install only the required once perhaps. This adds a slight overhead in order to making sure any future additions/removals of package requirements in
linux-firmwaregets adopted.
