I am not for abandoning the non-free section, but I think we should
really limit it to software for which no free replacement exists. I
am not really sure that "email" satisfies this criterion. Maintaining
non-free packages is a hassle, it might be easier to write a free
replacement in the time saved by messing around with non-free packages
and getting special Debian redistribution permissions. (Remember,
there is no build daemon for non-free.)
