  - mirrors must mirror this media to be listed as a mirror
  - only GPL stuff
  - must be selfcontained

* nonfree
  - disabled by default, installer will ask to enable it if
    it detects hw that need driver/fw from here...
  - mirrors must mirror this media to be listed as a mirror

as a packager, i like this.
as a user, i like this too.
