Why ? The first proposal and rationale was to drop non-free in order to
have some discussion stick to show the author of non-free software not
willing to free the code. Then it was changed to just avoiding the user
confusion, and saying that our users needs would be covered by an
alternative non-free.org, as if that solved everything. There is no
real study, nor care, about the real impact of the removal of the
non-free section of the debian infrastructure, nor any reasonable
engagement on the viability and initial setup of this supposed
non-free.org archive.
Like i said, show us the implementation, if it works and fills the need,
we will move to it, without needing endless flamewars on debian-vote.
