Well, if we are going to distribute non-free in a nice way from a non-free.org based apt source instead of the current solution, i believe that this could be achieved seamlessly without need for long discussion and a vote. I guess everyone would vote for it if it did come to a vote, but this is the kind of technical decisions which don't need vote, since we are still providing non-free support to our users that need it, in a way that will also satisfy those that want to blind themselves to the reality.
