I think I tend to agree. Could some one please have a look at
the non-US licences, and determine which should be non-US/main and
which should be non-US/non-free?
What changes would be required in the archive structure of
non-US to support non-US/{potato,slink,NEWCODE}/{main,contrib,non-free}/
packages? Can apt handle such a restructuring?
We shall also have to modify the non-US upload procedures
before this happens.
How many packages in non-US can be moved to non-US/main? How
many go to non-US/contrib and non-US/non-free?
How many packages in contrib shall be affected?
I think we can vote on this proposal in more confidence if
these things were known.

To be happy one must be a) well fed, unhounded by sordid cares, at
ease in Zion, b) full of a comfortable feeling of superiority to the
masses of one's fellow men, and c) delicately and unceasingly amused
according to one's taste. It is my contention that, if this
definition be accepted, there is no country in the world wherein a
man constituted as I am -- a man of my peculiar weaknesses, vanities,
appetites, and aversions -- can be so happy as he can be in the
United States. Going further, I lay down the doctrine that it is a
sheer physical impossibility for such a man to live in the United
States and not be happy. H.L. Mencken, "On Being An American"
