Constitutionality aside, if non-free is removed from debian, I will miss
acroread and netscape and unzip. (I don't usually need zip, since
windows users can also grok .tar.gz with winzip)

I imagine some other people might miss their rsa and idea modules for
gpg. (Which reminds me, why is the rsa module for gpg still in non-free?)

Being the champions of free software doesn't always mean we have to be
extremists about it. :)

Just my two cents.
