That seems more like an argument for not having non-free (as in beer) |

proprietary software in the tree at all. |

I have mixed feelings on this particular removal. I'd probably leave |
| 10 |
it there until it is actually broken, but the problem with stuff like |
| 11 |
this is that it is almost impossible to tell if it actually is broken, |
| 12 |
since none of the devs have access to the distfiles. As a result it |
| 13 |
probably makes sense to be more aggressive about treecleaning non-free |
| 14 |
software if it doesn't have an active maintainer. |
