Probably :)
If I were a DD (-- and I'm NM), I'd think a bit more before proposing a GR to
*completely* remove non-free. Non-free is, for some users, necessary (I'd
happily --purge flashplugin-nonfree, but I can't -- I need it [work,
university, $foo]).
Instead of removing non-free, I'd support the idea of
non-free.org, and if that
will make the FSF endorse us again, why not? :)
Non-free is there just because the free counterparts aren't optimal. Someday
these will, and non-free will just disappear from Debian :)
M2C,
David
