At the moment I don't intend to propose or suggest that we remove all
references to non-free software from the webpages. That would be a
disservice to our users. It's also a bit unrelated: I don't want to hide
non-free, I want have it somewhere seperate and clearly seperate from
the rest of the archive.

Removing all references to non-free packages from the webpages strikes
me as hiding possibly useful information, which is not something we
should do. Pretending something isn't there or ignoring not is not going
to help us. Making a great free distribution will.
