    1. Is it acceptable for Debian to permanently remove most FDL documents
    so that they are no longer available on Debian mirrors or on Debian CDs?

    Ans: no

    2. Is it acceptable if all FDL documents were moved to non-free so that
    they could still be downloaded from Debian mirrors? Note that they
    still would not appear on most Debian CDs.

    Ans: yes

    3. Should Debian allow documents without invariant sections in main, and
    only remove/move-to-non-free those with invariant sections?

    Ans: yes

    4. Should Debian modify the Social Contract and/or Debian Free Software
    Guidelines[1] to allow all FDL documents to remain in the main archive
    and appear on Debian CDs?

    Ans: Uhhhh, I dunno

    5. Is Debian making a big out of a minor issue?

    Ans: Uhhhh, I dunno

     Should Debian be focusing more on creating a usable operating system and less
    on worrying about licensing issues?

    Ans: yes
