He didn't say that; he said that the software is poorly supported in
non-free. And that is correct:
* non-free is not autobuilt
* non-free does not receive security updates
* non-free does not end up on the CD-ROM images we distribute
(hence, users installing from CD-ROM because they have a bad
Internet connection /will/ have problems installing it).
