Still, finding and setting up such a replacement takes time, time that could
otherwise be spent on free software instead. And all this just because some
people are confused by the distinction of "not being an official part of
Debian" but "still being provided by the Debian project"? If we start arguing
like that we might just as well start thinking about doing away with the
whole concept of our testing distribution, given the amount of confusion it
tends to create.
