Huh? Why do you think the only people able to setup a non-free archive
are ones that want to see it kept in Debian?
And if you think that "doing so would go a long way" toward getting
non-free *out* of Debian, why don't *you* do it? Set it up, make sure
it works, maintain it for a few months, then pass it on to people who
care about it.

Personally, I don't understand how people can, on the one hand, suggest
nonfree.org as a reasonable way of helping our users, and on the other
hand refuse to work on it claiming such behaviour would be unethical,
even though it supports the arguments they're making and would aid in
a goal they seem to think is desirable.
