I think that's a pretty strong reason to rate non-free software lowest
in the alternatives.  Packaging useful non-free software is fine but
ranking it higher than free alternatives seems in contrast with our
social contract.  Users who want to use it should be able to handle
alternatives system.

Kind regards
