I agree.

Actually, I'm tempted to push for making the Social Contract and DFSG
require a 4:1 vote to alter.

And, once that's done, I'd be happy to vote in favor of this change in
the social contract.

[I think we should work at supporting a bigger variety of non-free
software, which means getting it off our plate and onto the plates of
others.  The way things are now, we're standardizing on certain kinds
of non-free software, and -- much as I might like using some of that
software -- I think that's a mistake.]

[[I'd also recommend that the maintainers of non-free software put
together some sort of non-debian mirror archive to distribute their
packages.]]

[[[One final thing:  I don't think we can prevent mirror operators from
hosting both kinds of software.  But I don't think there should be any
kind of consistent link from the free to the non-free stuff.  Such a
link encourages the wrong kind of standardization, in my opinion.]]]
