I don't agree. It is a big step in that now by default you'll have a free kernel when installing Debian. You'll have to be active to put non-free software on your computer. And you do it consciously by activating a non-free repo, which is clearly marked as non-free.
I don't want to argue that it is sufficient. But it is definitely more than you say. It'll also - and in particular - be big help for gns. You say that it is still easy to install non-free software on debian. yeah, right, but with the same ease you can install the same software on gns. and that doesn't make gns non-free. there was a discussion about deltas to take care off. this is a big delta less. so it's a big step forward. > It's fake freedom.
