Ok, i understand, but still it is DFSG compliant no ? why then penalize it and move it away from main into some server that will matbe not be mirrored everywhere ? What is the true need to remove non-free, apart from the political one, that is ? and what about all the debian developper who maintain non-free or contrib packages ? Will the upload and such process be complicated by the new setup ? Will the non-free maintainer become second zone debian developpers ? Friendly, Sven LUTHER
