No agreement has been reached on SC text since that is the next planned

This already happened:

Oops. Thanks.
Once the new SC text is accepted, I will update this §2.1.5 following
why_debian page on www.debian.org.
In a first pass I thought that the page why_debian didn't need an update. I'll
look at this more closely, comparing with Debian Reference and other updated
documents, during this weekend (if anybody wants to go ahead, I'm also happy
to read proposals from others).
I see we can still argue Debian is 100% FREE and leave the text as they are.
The question is how to address things written in updated SC in the updated
why_debian /debian-reference §2.1.5. I mean the following part:
Thus, although non-free works are not a part of Debian, we support their use
and provide infrastructure for non-free packages (such as our bug tracking
system and mailing lists). The Debian official media may include firmware that
is otherwise not part of the Debian system to enable use of Debian with
hardware that requires such firmware.
Some short footnote may help. Since I don't like to use negated text, I may add
text along following as footnote later. (This is my first thought. I may need
to think more.)
Debian project supports use of non-free works and provides infrastructure for
non-free packages (such as our bug tracking system and mailing lists). The
Debian official media may include firmware that is otherwise not part of the
Debian system to enable use of Debian with hardware that requires such
firmware.
But before doing this, I want to see how why_debian deals this.
