As long as we ship non-free we should still take proper care where possible and not leave it randomly broken. I don't think effectively killing it by the back door by completely ignoring its release issues is a very good approach. If we're going to break non-free, it should be by the proper means, i.e. a passed GR to remove it from the archive. Cheers, -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
