No.  I agree with you, and actually proposed a General Resolution 8
years ago to get rid of non-free software:

http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2000/06/msg00549.html
http://www.debian.org/vote/2000/vote_0008

It was never voted on because the project secretary disappeared, if
memory serves.

There was also a vote in 2004 on a different resolution:

http://www.debian.org/vote/2004/vote_002

I guess this means that it's about time for another once-every-4-years
vote :-)
