My position about mixing non-free into the core repository with a filter: That may be technically possible to integrate into urpm* and rpmdrake. But it will create confusion and problems.
1. Problems for mirror maintainers who do not want to mirror non-free (if we cater to the free-enthousiasts at other issues we have to do it here as well).
That's a good point, but are there actually any of these ? Was there any PLF mirror that only hosted free ?
2. Problems for users who may not trust the filter system, they rather trust a visual separation.
I can't see this. If they trust us to place the package correctly to start with, why wouldn't they trust a filter we write ? And if they don't trust us, they're reading the license themselves anyway.
