At 2016.01.01 ISO, the linux-firmware on repo was 20150904. Now on 2016.01.04 linux-firmware is at 20151207. So for next ISO on 2016.02.01, linux-firmware will be 20151207 or a major version if released (available on [core]) before 2016.02.01.
2015-11-04 upgpkg: linux-firmware 20151104.aa57476-1
The 01.01.16 release should of, at a minimum, contained the November firmware release - 20151104. However I verified it did indeed contain 20150904. Is there any sort of test we can put in place to make sure these files are correctly updated with the kernel?
The impact of users downloading it and not having their wireless work I believe is critical.
20151104 never hits [core] was in [testing] until replaced by 20151207 on 2015-12-10 and moved to [core] on 2016-01-04
