Now - ain't that cute,
why do people that don't want non-free .deb's just remove it from their
sources line? If that stuff gets kicked out of official debian you will
just have to get a bunch of other sources and end up with a lot of
traffic in the mailing lists that goes like'why isn't my movie player
playing anything?' - no more win32 codecs'why can't I play .mp3's?' - no
more here either and the list goes on...
Besides of that I really get bored that for everything there needs to be
an action committee with votes and chairman these days - the guys that
decide what goes into debian pretty much do so as they wish anyway. And
they doing a good job there in my opinion.
