But will this new distribution tag be an official part of Debian? currently
if it not in main, is not Debian, even if it can be included on the CDs.

Why sould things like the GNU manifesto or the Debian Social contract need
to be modifiable to be included in main?

I can understand the need to be able to modify software, technical docs,
even artwork. but things like memos, emails, essays, etc?
