So, would you be opposed to have non-free stay on the debian
infrastructure, and have some DNS magic mapping non-free.org to it, and
this being the exclusive way of accessing this ? This would, i believe
be a very costless way of achieving what you want, without excessive
cost to our infrastructure.
Sure, the problem would be in how the mirrors do handle this.
