I don't understand.  Did you misread my statement?

Perhaps you fall into one of the following groups:

1) You will never wean yourself off of non-essential non-free software,
but you feel that Debian can stop shipping it.

2) You don't use non-essential non-free software, AND you feel that
Debian must never stop shipping it.

I guess you're saying you fall into group 1, since you have already
logically precluded your membership in group 2.
