And so here we've got an announcement from the Debian Project that just might make people want to go enable both non-free and contrib. Despite what I hear most Debian defenders saying where it's the user that does it & Debian never recommends/encourages it.

And, once they do so, the *entire contents of non-free and contrib become available and viewable in the user's package manager*, not "just" the non-free stuff from Intel. So much for keeping stuff separate and users knowing that they won't accidentally install something non-free (another thing I hear from Debian defenders.) Just because they wanted one piece of non-free software.
