[Trisquel-users] add-apt-repository in Trisquel 8

[csh]

I'm trying the Trisquel 8 live system, and I notice that add-apt-repository  
is not available and that any package it could be available in is not in the  
repos.

I heard the Trisquel devs are doing this on purpose, because PPAs *might* be  
used to install nonfree software, even though there are hundreds of free  
software PPAs out there that people need.

Why is add-apt-repository gone?
