No I don't miss the point of your comment: I've a different opinion, that's all. You trust in human's strenght better than me ehehe. For Debian it's not a problem: isn't a free distro, (and I spent long time on debian, you know). Anyway every distro that makes this procedure so easy make a big mistake, an ethical mistake over all: especially free distros, (I agree).

Remember, not all users had the same motivations for using free software: not all users had the same knowledge, heart and character for understand all these wonderful things, and choose how to install and why. A good free distro had the responsability to protect users from everything could be dangerous, an must be fully free by default.

Without imposition of course, but with responsability and coherence, like a father for his children.

Yes, you can use a programming language for bad purposes, or for protecting people, it's your choice, and a piece of your freedom: but stay in the middle is more dangerous in situations like this, in my opinion.

I can't force a Gnu/Linux's user to install this or that, but I can say "wait, you are doing this... are you sure? Listen our story before", in a single line of code: this is a correct behaviour. Or maybe creating a different structure for repository/change difficulty of non-free software's installation...

"If one wants to install garbage one will do so eventually" this is the principal reason why many people ignore free software, and why we needs to protect people from this "garbage".

For english users, my intentions are better than my english, sorry eheheh

P.S. = opinioni differenti a parte, non sparire Super ;)
