The 'free-ness' vote was the primary issue. Those are implementation
details left to the maintainers. There was no direction given to them,
so I would guess they did was what I have read that most maintainer do:
focus on the 'free software' and put any non-free tasks second or lower.
Although I think that your suggestion would have made things a little
easier for the users.
