But you were not working on boot-floppies, or d-i as it would be now.
And while it might have been okay for some users to add this line to
their sources.list, it is my strong believe that such an approach,
generally taken, would do Debian strong harm.  We would degenerate to a
group discussing and proposing a policy document, with many nearly or
hardly policy-compliant repositories growing around us.
