+Starting with Talos 1.9, the `i915` and `amdgpu` DRM drivers will be dropped from the Talos squashfs.
+There will be new system extensions named `i915` and `amdgpu` that would contain both the drivers and firmware packaged together.
+Upgrades via Image Factory will automatically include the new extensions if previously `i915-ucode` or `amdgpu-firmware` were used.
