Uh, a bunch of developers have already allocated resources to making it
a reality, that's how pool/non-free and dists/*/non-free came to exist.
Are you /really/ all that surprised that the people who think it's
important enough to have made that effort would be annoyed at having to
make another, larger, effort for no gains that they can see?
If you're not, just accept it, and get on with demonstrating the gains
you forsee and working on minimising the costs, rather than pretending
you can dismiss everyone else's concerns out of hand.
