My purpose of this thread (which is a question asked elsewhere) is to find out if there is consensus about this issue. If there isn't, I don't want to bother everyone with a mass bug report. Which, as Russ pointed out, would be a pretty large operation. Also, I don't want to move lots of software to contrib. I would much rather have it fixed by removing the support for the non-free services, or by having plugin systems that allow only the non-free-interfacing part to be in contrib. However, that is still a large operation, so I still do not want to do a mass bug filing unless there is consensus that it should be done. So far, it doesn't seem like there is consensus at all. Thanks, Bas
