Uh, you can't separate the issues like that -- the only thing under
discussion are the "whats" -- what we do with non-free, what we do with
contrib, what we do to our social contract.

I'm pretty sure I still haven't seen anyone advocating killing off
non-free attempt to address the issue of what to do with contrib in the
years this issue's been on the table. The recent attempt attempted to
specifically avoid deciding whether to remove non-free or not.
Work out how to address the whole problem, work out a good overall
solution, then present that as your GR. That's what we did for the revised
supermajority rules, and we got our 3:1 requirement quite happily. Why
not follow the procedure that's been demonstrated to work, even if it's
a bit hard?

The objections aren't to the way you're phrasing things, and can't be
fixed by rephrasing them.
