The firmware have been moved from main to non-free a few years ago. The unintended consequences is that almost every system now use the non-free suite. Therefore users are more likely to install non-free packages. Aren't you afraid that we end-up with unintended consequences, where users become prone to add "foreign" repository... that eventually break their system (the dependency hell...)? Aren't you afraid that users become prone to add various repository... including closed-source/proprietary software? > The point is not dropping the current interface.
