my goal is a *free* debian-edu, without non-free software.

however, note that *i* and some other debian developers working
on the project voted to keep non-free around in the recent GR
(not for love for non-free, but because removing it would hurt
debian as a whole). (check the voting overview for details.)

as soon as free replacements are available we could drop the
non-free stuff. even opera. (c:

we should keep the priorities straight, though: 

debian-edu NEEDS more features, urgently, (to be provided by free
software), to become a great, usable, free product for schools.

As we go we can strive to reach each of those goals (great, usable,
free) gradually, without hurting and setting back the others.
