I am NOT trying to debate the decision to regard GFDL as
non-free. Although I think the decision is wrong that is NOT what I am
complaining about.
I have said several times that, although I disagree with the decision,
I am quite happy for the Debian project to make policy in the way that
it has.
However, then taking that decision as an action point to remove all
the documentation without putting it in elsewhere is simply not good
enough.
And I do not accept that it is ok because it's only transitional and
eventually documentation will be pushed into non-free. If that's the
case why couldn't we wait for that to happen before it got removed
from main?
A purely political decision has been taken that substantially changed
*my* user experience (and that of others I'm sure) without warning and
people think that's ok?
