I understand that you feel like this situation with non-free is something
of a Gordian knot.
And, I understand that you feel that the vote itself will help us decide
what it is that we want to do.
Also, I think the fact that there is no rationale for your "drop
non-free" proposal says a bit more the real state of affairs. It may
be that any rationale would harm the chances that your proposal would
pass -- is that really the case? [If so, I'm even more dissapointed
that you haven't provided a rationale.]
However, if the point of this vote is "to decide what it is that we
want to do", then I think we'd be better served with a rationale for
your proposal.
