Hi!
Thanks, Andreas, for the Cc. Didn't mention that I am not subscribed
but I am reading answers in the archives -- though they would be delayed
then :) (no, its a real thanks this time, not sarcastic)

But that next step influences if I am for or against. If it isn't sure
that the next step (moving it to nonfree.org instead of erasing it from
earths surface completely) will be made I am fully *against* the GR. And
I guess I am not the only one. This is a needed precondition for some of
us, I am quite confident that I am not the only one.
If the vote for removing non-free will result in having it nowhere I am
quite sure that this would be a disservice for our users. No, I don't
want answers like "I don't like to work on non-free", they don't make
any sense. As long as there are people who would like to do it for our
users there should be the infrastructure for it somewhere.
Btw., I wonder why the nongnu.org vs. gnu.org split wasn't mentioned.
Yes, I know, they are both about Free Software. But if the split did
work for them why shouldn't it work in here? Whats so bad about having
nonfree.org hosting that data?

Without the hyphen, please. But the thing is: With all those heated
discussions in here I don't think that it will happen if it isn't
decided prior to this GR. My personal opinion, right, but I am not sure
if I am the only one thinking along that lines...

I rather think that choice 2 (keep it) will have much less votes if it
is asured that nonfree.org will be used. And thus when nonfree.org
happens I would think the vote would go through with a vast majority
for...
So long,
Alfie
