OK. Fine. I agree. I use non-free software myself. But, in that case, I
refrain for deliberately making non-free software harder to find and install
for ordinary users.
What Wichert proposed was to tell Debian users "Do as I say, not as I do".
Either we apply "pure 100 % free software" to ourselves, or we stop trying to
find new and improved ways to make users unaware of non-free software.

I'm not the one who suggested a crusade against non-free software. The current
situation (with the main and non-free sections) is fine for me.

Which means you'll vote like me:
No 1) create nonfree.debian.org domain
No 2) create official.debian.org domain
Yes 3) keep the current situation
Why not? 4) further discussion
