All of its content right now? Is there some freeze on adding new packages to non-free I hadn't heard about? If so, that's odd, because an ITP of a non-free package has been made on debian-devel within the past few days. If we keep non-free open to new packages forever, how am I to distinguish as a practical matter "You'll take our non-free section away when you pry our cold, dead hands from it." from "[You'll take our non-free section away] when a free alternative for all of its content has been written."? -- G.
