Let me tell you about the risks we face, we non-free, web-dependent
software stays in 'main' repo:

1. More FOSS developers will use it for derivative works
(KDE/GNOME-facebook login)
2. One day it will become mandatory to even login into your desktop
(Google OS is clearly moving in this direction)

I would like to avoid such fate.
By having clear separation between 'main' and 'contrib' we *can* avoid
such fate.
