I believe that for hamm, the binary CD will be almost full. So
people who want to sell non-free would have to put it on another
disk? If this is true, the best approach would be just have a
note encouraging this; also, having non-free in a separate CD
would make it very clear for users that whatever is in there is
not officially part of Debian. Also, maybe manufacturers could
be encouraged to put experimental in this "additional CD" too?
