I have not asked for that. I have only asked for a seperate repository
completely without non-free and contrib.

It is not hidden, it is still availble at ftp.debian.org or whereever.

Just have us one domain name (virtual if you like) where only free software
is accessible. Is this too much to ask? People who don't care wouldn't even
notice.

Thanks,
