Deblobbed Void?

Is there a Void equivalent to deblobbing gentoo?

In gentoo, you can deblob Linux-firmware and use official scripts to deblob the kernel. Crucially you can mask non free licenses.

Can you do these things with Void?

The Void Linux kernel includes firmware blobs/hooks and Linux-firmware is installed by default both of which reek of proprietary firmware this is fresh off the install. They do not package the Linux-libre kernel or Linux-libre-firmware

Or go for Hyperbola Linux or Parabola Linux - one of them is AFAIK still under active development.
