The next step is there is no next step because this is a non-issue.  A
couple of people want to purge main of any software that's a client for "a
non-free web service" but this desire, while one could argue it is noble,
misses the point.  The question of freeness or non-freeness in Debian has
to do with licensing, and nothing to do with the uses to which software is
put.  If the program accessing the "non-free" service is free software, it
goes in main, period.  To require otherwise would require amending the
Social Contract and a General Resolution to adopt the change.
