Hmm. Yes, I am saying that. I am a debian developer. As such,
I am committed to free software. For me to use non-free software, I
need pretty compelling reasons. And so, I do consider the non-fre
software I have to use as critical -- if it were not so, I would not
be using it.
And yet, that does not mean I have the resources, or the time,
to make a non-free respository a reality. I would much ratgher not
have to invest the time and effort to make it so, and that would take
away from the time I have for Debian.
