To state the obvious:
"5. Programs That Don't Meet Our Free-Software Standards
We acknowledge that some of our users require the use of programs that
don't conform to the Debian Free Software Guidelines. We have created
"contrib" and "non-free" areas in our FTP archive for this software."
I don't see how removing of a part of the project described in the SC
wouldn't violate it but English is not my native language so I guess
I'm misunderstaning something.
Of course, like you said, Social Contract is subject to GR's. As it is
a Foundation Document and as such requires a 3:1 majority to be
superseded, I would like this GR to be called something like "Change
of Social Contract: Removal of non-free" so it would be more obvious
to everybody that this is not a "normal" GR.
