As usual, you forget that our commitment to our users includes not misleading them by changing our long-term mission every release, and that we used to pride ourselves in striving for a free best OS. As far as I'm concerned, reverting the social contract would change little: debian would still need to be 100% free software. If some want to argue that works such as images are not a type of software, then they are arguing that those works are not allowed in debian (clearly stupid IMO).
