What ongoing talks? The ones that have produced absolutely no
visible sign of progress for six months, while we continue shipping
non-free bits in main? The ones that show absolutely no signs of
going anywhere? Is it ethical to take the convenient path to keep
shipping non-free stuff in main just bvecause, even though it is
non-free, it is useful, hiding behind the fact oh, we have been
talking about it for 2.5 years, let us keep on talking, with no end
in sight, while continuing to ship non-free stuff in main?
