Of course, the problem is that there are always more non-free packages
to be uploaded.  When first I proposed the elimination of non-free,
there was much whining about Netscape.  Now I hear much whining about
Japanese PDFs.

Perhaps a logical place to start is, effective immediately, completely
and totally ban the introduction of any new package into non-free.
