I think that'd make it RMS-approved.
We're getting a bit off topic now but that's a great idea. I'd obviously go with the jumper solution but I'm not sure that the FSF would go with it. The irony here is that by neutering the ability to flash, you're taking away a freedom. They should build two versions: one with flashable baseband firmware and the other a less free FSF-approved version.
