[Wim Bertels <wim.bertels@ucll.be>]

Hello,

first of all, thank you for all the good work!

personally, i am disappointed with this change,
unless i misunderstand the voted outcome,
the choice has been made to put convenience 
before the clear separation of closed and open software;
something Debian has been doing very well,
what makes it stand apart from other linux distributions

i think this is an important reason for many debian users

for example in the past:

i hope future installers will have an easy granular opt-in (or opt-out)
of proprietary software (on any level, eg including microcode, kernel,
drivers,..), so that a user can easily choose to have a open system
with closed source

mvg,
Wim
