After my proposal:

Debian == main
Pure Debian == pure

So, `Pure Debian' is just a proper subset of `Debian'.  A useful and
desireable subset, but still just subset.

`main' is still important because it points out deficiencies in
`pure'.

`contrib' is still important, because it points out deficiencies in
`main'.

`non-free' is still important, because it points out deficiencies in
`contrib + main'.

The day that all software is free software, `pure' will be the only
distribution we need to do absolutely everything with our computers.
